[ Upstream commit 61b2b3737499f1fb361a54a16828db24a8345e85 ]
The nouveau_get_backlight_name() function generates a unique name for the backlight interface, appending an id from 1 to 99 for all backlight devices after the first.
GCC 15 (and likely other compilers) produce the following -Wformat-truncation warning:
nouveau_backlight.c: In function ‘nouveau_backlight_init’: nouveau_backlight.c:56:69: error: ‘%d’ directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 3 [-Werror=format-truncation=] 56 | snprintf(backlight_name, BL_NAME_SIZE, "nv_backlight%d", nb); | ^~ In function ‘nouveau_get_backlight_name’, inlined from ‘nouveau_backlight_init’ at nouveau_backlight.c:351:7: nouveau_backlight.c:56:56: note: directive argument in the range [1, 2147483647] 56 | snprintf(backlight_name, BL_NAME_SIZE, "nv_backlight%d", nb); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ nouveau_backlight.c:56:17: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 14 and 23 bytes into a destination of size 15 56 | snprintf(backlight_name, BL_NAME_SIZE, "nv_backlight%d", nb); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The warning started appearing after commit ab244be47a8f ("drm/nouveau: Fix a potential theorical leak in nouveau_get_backlight_name()") This fix for the ida usage removed the explicit value check for ids larger than 99. The compiler is unable to intuit that the ida_alloc_max() limits the returned value range between 0 and 99.
Because the compiler can no longer infer that the number ranges from 0 to 99, it thinks that it could use as many as 11 digits (10 + the potential - sign for negative numbers).
The warning has gone unfixed for some time, with at least one kernel test robot report. The code breaks W=1 builds, which is especially frustrating with the introduction of CONFIG_WERROR.
The string is stored temporarily on the stack and then copied into the device name. Its not a big deal to use 11 more bytes of stack rounding out to an even 24 bytes. Increase BL_NAME_SIZE to 24 to avoid the truncation warning. This fixes the W=1 builds that include this driver.
Compile tested only.
