[ Upstream commit 8deb05c84b63b4fdb8549e08942867a68924a5b8 ]
Recent versions of Clang gets confused about the possible size of the
"user" allocation, and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE ends up emitting a
warning[1]:
repro.c:126:4: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
126 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^
for this memset():
int len;
__le16 *user;
...
len = ses->user_name ? strlen(ses->user_name) : 0;
user = kmalloc(2 + (len * 2), GFP_KERNEL);
...
if (len) {
...
} else {
memset(user, '\0', 2);
}
While Clang works on this bug[2], switch to using a direct assignment,
which avoids memset() entirely which both simplifies the code and silences
the false positive warning. (Making "len" size_t also silences the
warning, but the direct assignment seems better.)

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.
