A potential string truncation was reported in bnx2x_fill_fw_str(), when a long bp->fw_ver and a long phy_fw_ver might coexist, but seems unlikely with real-world hardware. Use scnprintf() to indicate the intent that truncations are tolerated. While reading this code, I found a collection of various buffer size counting issues. None looked like they might lead to a buffer overflow with current code (the small buffers are 20 bytes and might only ever consume 10 bytes twice with a trailing %NUL). However, early truncation (due to a %NUL in the middle of the string) might be happening under likely rare conditions. Regardless fix the formatters and related functions: - Switch from a separate strscpy() to just adding an additional "%s" to the format string that immediately follows it in bnx2x_fill_fw_str(). - Use sizeof() universally instead of using unbound defines. - Fix bnx2x_7101_format_ver() and bnx2x_null_format_ver() to report the number of characters written, not including the trailing %NUL (as already done with the other firmware formatting functions). - Require space for at least 1 byte in bnx2x_get_ext_phy_fw_version() for the trailing %NUL. - Correct the needed buffer size in bnx2x_3_seq_format_ver().

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.
