gcc-7 notices that "-event-%d" could be more than 11 characters long if we had larger 'vector' numbers: drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c: In function 'vmxnet3_activate_dev': drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c:2095:40: error: 'sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=] sprintf(intr->event_msi_vector_name, "%s-event-%d", ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c:2095:3: note: 'sprintf' output between 9 and 33 bytes into a destination of size 32 The current code is safe, but making the string a little longer is harmless and lets gcc see that it's ok.
