[PATCH 2/2] libfc: work around Warray-bounds warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Oct 26 2020 - 12:07:28 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Building libfc with gcc -Warray-bounds identifies a number of
cases in one file where a strncpy() is performed into a single-byte
character array:

In file included from include/linux/bitmap.h:9,
from include/linux/cpumask.h:12,
from include/linux/smp.h:13,
from include/linux/lockdep.h:14,
from include/linux/spinlock.h:59,
from include/linux/debugobjects.h:6,
from include/linux/timer.h:8,
from include/scsi/libfc.h:11,
from drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_elsct.c:17:
In function 'strncpy',
inlined from 'fc_ct_ms_fill.constprop' at drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_encode.h:235:3:
include/linux/string.h:290:30: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' offset [56, 135] from the object at 'pp' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'value' with type '__u8[1]' {aka 'unsigned char[1]'} at offset 56 [-Warray-bounds]
290 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy
| ^
include/linux/string.h:300:9: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy'
300 | return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not a bug because the 1-byte array is used as an odd way
to express a variable-length data field here. I tried to convert
it to a flexible-array member, but in the end could not figure out
why the sizeof(struct fc_fdmi_???) are used the way they are, and
how to properly convert those.

Work around this instead by abstracting the string copy
in a slightly higher-level function fc_ct_hdr_fill() helper
that strscpy() and memset() to achieve the same result as
strncpy() but does not require a zero-terminated input
and does not get checked for the array overflow because
gcc (so far) does not understand the behavior of strscpy().
