You probably want strscpy. This is called with at least "mediatek" and "broadcom", so perhaps it's better still to change the struct vendor size to something a bit larger. Maybe change vendor[8] to vendor[16]; include/linux/hdmi.h:struct hdmi_spd_infoframe { include/linux/hdmi.h- enum hdmi_infoframe_type type; include/linux/hdmi.h- unsigned char version; include/linux/hdmi.h- unsigned char length; include/linux/hdmi.h- char vendor[8]; include/linux/hdmi.h- char product[16]; include/linux/hdmi.h- enum hdmi_spd_sdi sdi; include/linux/hdmi.h-};

Ah right. I did not realize that and know I see the call with "Intel", will re-spin. > You probably want strscpy. Right. > This is called with at least "mediatek" and "broadcom", so perhaps > it's better still to change the struct vendor size to something a > bit larger. Maybe change vendor[8] to vendor[16]; Looks like 8 bytes is required for call like hdmi_spd_infoframe_unpack() > include/linux/hdmi.h:struct hdmi_spd_infoframe { > include/linux/hdmi.h- enum hdmi_infoframe_type type; > include/linux/hdmi.h- unsigned char version; > include/linux/hdmi.h- unsigned char length; > include/linux/hdmi.h- char vendor[8]; > include/linux/hdmi.h- char product[16]; > include/linux/hdmi.h- enum hdmi_spd_sdi sdi; > include/linux/hdmi.h-}; > >

Using strncpy() is less than perfect since the destination buffers do not need to be NUL terminated. Replace strncpy() with memcpy() to address a warning triggered by gcc using W=1 and optimize the code a bit. This commit removes the following warnings: drivers/video/hdmi.c:234:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 8 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] drivers/video/hdmi.c:235:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] Signed-off-by: Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org> --- drivers/video/hdmi.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
