This is effectively no-op as the next line writes a nul at the final byte of the buffer, so copying one letter less does not change the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- gcc 8 gives the following warning, which I am not sure why is treated as error for this file, thus making me fix it: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_tv.c: In function ‘intel_tv_get_modes’: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_tv.c:1358:3: error: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(mode_ptr->name, input->name, DRM_DISPLAY_MODE_LEN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Also, as a side note, while checking if this was already sent I stumbled uppon this: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2018-July/170638.html ([Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t 6/7] Fix truncate string in the strncpy) which replaces strncpy(dest, src, sizeof(dest)) by strncpy(dest, src, strlen(dest))... This isn't for linux but this looks like a pretty bad idea to me...
