Trying to copy into the string fields with strncpy() gives a warning from gcc. Both fields are part of a packed HDMI header and do not require a terminating \0 character. ../drivers/video/hdmi.c: In function 'hdmi_spd_infoframe_init': ../drivers/video/hdmi.c:230:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 8 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 230 | strncpy(frame->vendor, vendor, sizeof(frame->vendor)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../drivers/video/hdmi.c:231:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 231 | strncpy(frame->product, product, sizeof(frame->product)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just use memcpy() instead.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
