[PATCH] IB/mlx4: Fix the size of a buffer in add_port_entries()

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

 



In order to be sure that 'buff' is never truncated, its size should be
12, not 11.

When building with W=1, this fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c: In function ‘add_port_entries’:
  drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:268:34: error: ‘sprintf’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
    268 |                 sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
        |                                  ^
  drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:268:17: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 2 and 12 bytes into a destination of size 11
    268 |                 sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
        |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    286 |                 sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
        |                                  ^
  drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:286:17: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 2 and 12 bytes into a destination of size 11
    286 |                 sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
        |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We could also use snprintf(), but it would just lead to a bigger patch for
no additional benefit.
This patch is already certainly more a clean-up than a fix.
