This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ksmbd: avoid field overflow warning to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ksmbd-avoid-field-overflow-warning.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 57d7c3677108aaa9f8558d260fe6eb187c0a9a9f Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 19 10:19:38 2023 +0200 ksmbd: avoid field overflow warning [ Upstream commit 9cedc58bdbe9fff9aacd0ca19ee5777659f28fd7 ] clang warns about a possible field overflow in a memcpy: In file included from fs/smb/server/smb_common.c:7: include/linux/fortify-string.h:583:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning] __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); It appears to interpret the "&out[baselen + 4]" as referring to a single byte of the character array, while the equivalen "out + baselen + 4" is seen as an offset into the array. I don't see that kind of warning elsewhere, so just go with the simple rework.
