[PATCH v2] FS-Cache: fix buffer size for decimal value of special cookie type

From: JÃrÃmy Lefaure
Date: Wed Apr 26 2017 - 20:32:14 EST


When building object-list.o, gcc (version 7) raises a warning on the
sprintf call in fscache_objlist_show:

CC fs/fscache/object-list.o
fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function âfscache_objlist_showâ:
fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:19: warning: âsprintfâ may write a
terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Wformat-overflow=]
sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type);
^~~~~~
fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:4: note: âsprintfâ output between 3 and 4
bytes into a destination of size 3
sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moreover, the documentation says that value for special cookies is a
hexadecimal value (see Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt).

Increasing the buffer size to use a decimal value fixes the problem
without any effect on userland tools. Also, this patch updates the
documentation.

v2:
_ keep decimal value
_ fix _type buffer size
_ fix documentation

I didn't have the time to test this patch yet but everything should be fine.
