[PATCH] scsi: ipr: work around fortify-string warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Feb 13 2023 - 05:12:27 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The ipr_log_vpd_compact() function triggers a fortified memcpy() warning
about a potential string overflow with all versions of clang:

In file included from drivers/scsi/ipr.c:43:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:254:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: 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);
^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: 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]
2 errors generated.

I don't see anything actually wrong with the function, but this is the
only instance I can reproduce of the fortification going wrong in the
kernel at the moment, so the easiest solution may be to rewrite the
function into something that does not trigger the warning.

Instead of having a combined buffer for vendor/device/serial strings,
use three separate local variables and just truncate the whitespace
individually.

I did not try to bisect which commit introduced this behavior into
the fortified memcpy(), the Fixes: commit is the one that introduced
the ipr_log_vpd_compact() function but this predates the fortified
string helpers.
