If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 9bd2bbc01d17ddd567cc0f81f77fe1163e497462 ] gcc 7.1 reports the following warning: block/elevator.c: In function ‘elv_register’: block/elevator.c:898:5: warning: ‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=] "%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name); ^~~~~~~~~~ block/elevator.c:897:3: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 7 and 22 bytes into a destination of size 21 snprintf(e->icq_cache_name, sizeof(e->icq_cache_name), ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bug is that the name of the icq_cache is 6 characters longer than the elevator name, but only ELV_NAME_MAX + 5 characters were reserved for it --- so in the case of a maximum-length elevator name, the 'q' character in "_io_cq" would be truncated by snprintf(). Fix it by reserving ELV_NAME_MAX + 6 characters instead.
