Right now, at siano driver, all places where devpath is defined has sizeof(devpath) == 32. So, there's no practical risc of going past devpath array anywhere. Still, code changes might cause troubles. It also confuses Coverity: CID 139059 (#1 of 1): Copy into fixed size buffer (STRING_OVERFLOW) 9. fixed_size_dest: You might overrun the 32-character fixed-size string entry->devpath by copying devpath without checking the length. 10. parameter_as_source: Note: This defect has an elevated risk because the source argument is a parameter of the current function. So, explicitly limit strcmp() and strcpy() to ensure that the devpath size (32) will be respected.
