This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvmet: re-fix tracing strncpy() 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: nvmet-re-fix-tracing-strncpy-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 043ddab9e52750fb0137766c8099fa361514e5ec Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 3 16:56:55 2024 +0100 nvmet: re-fix tracing strncpy() warning [ Upstream commit 4ee7ffeb4ce50c80bc4504db6f39b25a2df6bcf4 ] An earlier patch had tried to address a warning about a string copy with missing zero termination: drivers/nvme/target/trace.h:52:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] The new version causes a different warning with some compiler versions, notably gcc-9 and gcc-10, and also misses the zero padding that was apparently done intentionally in the original code: drivers/nvme/target/trace.h:56:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] Change it to use strscpy_pad() with the original length, which will give a properly padded and zero-terminated string as well as avoiding the warning.
