Subject: [PATCH] emulex/benet: Annotate flash_cookie as nonstring
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 15:10:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250416221028.work.967-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

GCC 15's new -Wunterminated-string-initialization notices that the 32
character "flash_cookie" (which is not used as a C-String)
needs to be marked as "nonstring":

drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_cmds.c:2618:51: warning: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (17 chars into 16 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
 2618 | static char flash_cookie[2][16] = {"*** SE FLAS", "H DIRECTORY *** "};
      |                                                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add this annotation, avoid using a multidimensional array, but keep the
string split (with a comment about why). Additionally mark it const
and annotate the "cookie" member that is being memcmp()ed against as
nonstring too.
