[-Wattribute-warning] __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size); The compiler actually complains on 'ath10k_debug_get_et_strings()' where fortification logic inteprets call to 'memcpy()' as an attempt to copy the whole 'ath10k_gstrings_stats' array from it's first member and so issues an overread warning. This warning may be silenced by passing an address of the whole array and not the first member to 'memcpy()'.
