3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6b2ddf33baec23dace85bd647e3fc4ac070963e8 ] arch/s390/mm/extmem.c: In function '__segment_load': arch/s390/mm/extmem.c:436:2: warning: 'strncat' specified bound 7 equals source length [-Wstringop-overflow=] strncat(seg->res_name, " (DCSS)", 7); What gcc complains about here is the misuse of strncat function, which in this case does not limit a number of bytes taken from "src", so it is in the end the same as strcat(seg->res_name, " (DCSS)"); Keeping in mind that a res_name is 15 bytes, strncat in this case would overflow the buffer and write 0 into alignment byte between the fields in the struct. To avoid that increasing res_name size to 16, and reusing strlcat.
