Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe/base: fix string truncation warning in ACI debug dump
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 14:17:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026211726.2319112-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
Building with ASAN and -Werror fails:
ixgbe_e610.c:59:41: error: 'strncat' output may be truncated
copying between 43 and 118 bytes from a string of length 127
[-Werror=stringop-truncation]
The hex dump used snprintf into a scratch buffer followed by strncat
with a signed remaining-space count, which could also go negative and
be passed to strncat as a huge size_t. Format each row directly with
snprintf at an offset instead, and handle the partial last row in the
same loop.
Fixes: 12648d0a5afc ("net/ixgbe/base: add admin interface debug printouts")
