syzbot reports a warning: precision 33020 too large WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9618 at lib/vsprintf.c:2471 set_precision+0x150/0x180 lib/vsprintf.c:2471 vsnprintf+0xa7b/0x19a0 lib/vsprintf.c:2547 kvasprintf+0xb2/0x170 lib/kasprintf.c:22 kasprintf+0xbb/0xf0 lib/kasprintf.c:59 hwsim_del_radio_nl+0x63a/0x7e0 drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c:3625 genl_family_rcv_msg_doit net/netlink/genetlink.c:672 [inline] ... entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe Thus it seems that kasprintf() with "%.*s" format can not be used for duplicating a string with arbitrary length. Replace it with kstrndup(). Note that later this string is limited to NL80211_WIPHY_NAME_MAXLEN == 64, but the code is simpler this way.

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.
