The buffer size is determined by the declaration char fw_name[30]; This means fw_name can hold up to 30 characters, including the null character that marks the end of the string. The string to be written is "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin" or "amdgpu/%s_rlc.bin", where %s will be replaced by the value of chip_name. The length of the string "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin" or "amdgpu/%s_rlc.bin" without the %s is 16 characters. The warning message is saying that the chip_name could be up to 29 characters long. If we add the 16 characters from the string "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin" or "amdgpu/%s_rlc.bin", we get a total of 45 characters. This is potentially longer than the buffer size of 30 characters. if chip_name is longer than 14 characters (30 buffer size - 16 characters from the string), the resulting string will not fit into the fw_name buffer, Thus increasing fw_name buffer size to 50 Fixes the below with gcc W=1: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c: In function ‘gfx_v9_4_3_early_init’: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c:379:52: warning: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 29 bytes into a region of size 23 [-Wformat-truncation=] 379 | snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "amdgpu/%s_rlc.bin", chip_name); | ^~ ...... 439 | r = gfx_v9_4_3_init_rlc_microcode(adev, ucode_prefix); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c:379:9: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 16 and 45 bytes into a destination of size 30 379 | snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "amdgpu/%s_rlc.bin", chip_name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c:413:52: warning: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 29 bytes into a region of size 23 [-Wformat-truncation=] 413 | snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin", chip_name); | ^~ ...... 443 | r = gfx_v9_4_3_init_cp_compute_microcode(adev, ucode_prefix); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c:413:9: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 16 and 45 bytes into a destination of size 30 413 | snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin", chip_name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fixes: 86301129698b ("drm/amdgpu: split gc v9_4_3 functionality from gc v9_0") Cc: Hawking Zhang <Hawking.Zhang@xxxxxxx> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@xxxxxxx> Cc: Lijo Lazar <lijo.lazar@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Srinivasan Shanmugam <srinivasan.shanmugam@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c index 0e429b7ed036..1c46d5f6677f 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_4_3.c @@ -370,7 +370,7 @@ static void gfx_v9_4_3_free_microcode(struct amdgpu_device *adev) static int gfx_v9_4_3_init_rlc_microcode(struct amdgpu_device *adev, const char *chip_name) { - char fw_name[30]; + char fw_name[50]; int err; const struct rlc_firmware_header_v2_0 *rlc_hdr; uint16_t version_major; @@ -407,7 +407,7 @@ static void gfx_v9_4_3_check_if_need_gfxoff(struct amdgpu_device *adev) static int gfx_v9_4_3_init_cp_compute_microcode(struct amdgpu_device *adev, const char *chip_name) { - char fw_name[30]; + char fw_name[50]; int err; snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "amdgpu/%s_mec.bin", chip_name); -- 2.34.1
