mainlining shenanigans
350d9a8237
Even though net_device->name is guaranteed to be null-terminated string of
size<=IFNAMSIZ, the test robot complains that return value of netdev_name()
can be larger:
In file included from include/trace/define_trace.h:102,
from drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/esw/diag/bridge_tracepoint.h:113,
from drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/esw/bridge.c:12:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/esw/diag/bridge_tracepoint.h: In function 'trace_event_raw_event_mlx5_esw_bridge_fdb_template':
>> drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/esw/diag/bridge_tracepoint.h:24:29: warning: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 16 bytes from a string of length 20 [-Wstringop-truncation]
24 | strncpy(__entry->dev_name,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
25 | netdev_name(fdb->dev),
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26 | IFNAMSIZ);
| ~~~~~~~~~
This is caused by the fact that default value of IFNAMSIZ is 16, while
placeholder value that is returned by netdev_name() for unnamed net devices
is larger than that.
The offending code is in a tracing function that is only called for mlx5
representors, so there is no straightforward way to reproduce the issue but
let's fix it for correctness sake by replacing strncpy() with strscpy() to
ensure that resulting string is always null-terminated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
