[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix build with gcc 8.1

[Ferruh Yigit]

Error observed when CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL config option is
enabled.

build error:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘igb_get_drvinfo’ at
    .../dpdk/build/build/kernel/linux/kni/igb_ethtool.c:814:2:
    .../include/linux/string.h:246:9: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ output
    may be truncated copying 31 bytes from a string of length 42
    [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
      return __builtin_strncpy(p, q, size);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixed by reducing the adapter->fw_version size and adjusting strncpy
limit size.

Use ETHTOOL_FWVERS_LEN?

Why not:
	strlcpy(drvinfo->fw_version, adapter->fw_version,
		sizeof(drvinfo->fw_version));

This patch fixes the compilation issue, but should we use strlcpy instead of strncpy?

Yes, that is what drvinfo->fw_version uses, and it seems it has been around
enough to not cause any build issue, will use that one.

Just to be cautious about changing API, to not have any problem with older
version of kernels.
But it seems strlcpy supported long enough to not cause an issue, I will use it.

Ah so much fun, it has been updated to 43 by me in the past, to prevent another
warning [1] which another part of code has potential to write larger string to
fw_version.

Reducing value back to 32 may bring back that old warning ...

Error observed when CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL config option is
enabled.

build error:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘igb_get_drvinfo’ at
    .../dpdk/build/build/kernel/linux/kni/igb_ethtool.c:814:2:

               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixed by using strlcpy instead of strncpy.

adapter->fw_version size kept same because of
c3698192940c ("kni: fix build with gcc 7.1")

Also next line strncpy usage replaced with strlcpy while arround.
