Simply ignore the warning then, I thought you were reporting a build failure. > I only do an i386 defconfig build and I don't get these warnings. Looking at the specific case of net/core/pktgen.c:867 "len" is variable in the net/core/pktgen.c line that emits the warning Even though it is limited to "sizeof(name) - 1" via strn_len()'s third argument, that's a lot to expect the compiler to dig into and be able to conclude invariants from. Please just ignore the warnings.
