From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> gcc correctly points out that using strnlen() on a fixed size array is nonsense with an overlong limit: mm/damon/dbgfs.c: In function 'damon_dbgfs_deprecated_read': mm/damon/dbgfs.c:814:19: error: 'strnlen' specified bound 1024 exceeds source size 512 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 814 | int len = strnlen(kbuf, 1024); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mm/damon/dbgfs.c:813:14: note: source object allocated here 813 | char kbuf[512] = DAMON_DBGFS_DEPRECATION_NOTICE; | ^~~~ In fact, neither of the arbitrary limits are needed here: The first one can just be a static const string and avoid wasting any more space then necessary, and the strnlen() can be either strlen() or sizeof(kbuf)-1, both of which the compiler turns into the same constant here.
