struct bkey has internal padding in a union, but it isn't always named the same (e.g. key ## _pad, key_p, etc). This makes it extremely hard for the compiler to reason about the available size of copies done against such keys. Use unsafe_memcpy() for now, to silence the many run-time false positive warnings: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 264) of single field "&i->j" at drivers/md/bcache/journal.c:152 (size 240) memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&b->key" at drivers/md/bcache/btree.c:939 (size 16) memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 24) of single field "&temp.key" at drivers/md/bcache/extents.c:428 (size 16) Reported-by: Alexandre Pereira <alexpereira@disroot.org> Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216785 Acked-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Cc: linux-bcache@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230106060229.never.047-kees@kernel.org
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.
