The idx is guarantied to be less than SNDRV_CARDS (max 256 or 8) by the code in snd_card_init(), however the compiler does not see that. Compiling with W=1 results:

sound/core/init.c: In function ‘snd_card_init’: sound/core/init.c:367:28: error: ‘%d’ directive writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 4 [-Werror=format-overflow=] 367 | sprintf(name, "card%d", idx); | ^~ sound/core/init.c:367:23: note: directive argument in the range [0, 2147483646] 367 | sprintf(name, "card%d", idx); | ^~~~~~~~ sound/core/init.c:367:9: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 6 and 15 bytes into a destination of size 8 367 | sprintf(name, "card%d", idx); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

While the code is correct, we need to silence the compiler somehow. It could be done by limiting the range in sprintf like sprintf(name, "card%d", idx % SNDRV_CARDS); sprintf(name, "card%hhd", idx); etc

These are too workaroundish. Increase the name array to 15 instead which looks better and only adds 7 bytes on stack.

The warnings got brought to light by a recent patch upstream: commit 6d4ab2e97dcf ("extrawarn: enable format and stringop overflow warnings in W=1")

Signed-off-by: Peter Ujfalusi peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com --- Hi,

The mentioned commit causes other build failures with W=1 at least in sound/usb/mixer_scarlett_gen2.c sound/usb/mixer.c sound/soc/codecs/hdac_hdmi.c sound/hda/intel-sdw-acpi.c

Some of them are also false and we need to find a workaround, but I think the scarlett case might be valid.

Regards, Peter
