[PATCH] i915/intel_tv_get_modes: fix strncpy truncation warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

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
( [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... (I'm not on the list to reply there, sorry)
