| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This stat string is being used in ethtool_sprintf(), so it must be a
valid NUL-terminated string. Currently the string lacks the final NUL
byte (as GCC warns), but by absolute luck, the next byte in memory is a
space (decimal 32) followed by a NUL. "format" is immediately followed
by little-endian size_t:
struct counter_desc {
char format[32]; /* 0 32 */
size_t offset; /* 32 8 */
};
The "offset" member is populated by the stats member offset:
#define MLX5E_DECLARE_PTP_RQ_STAT(type, fld) "ptp_rq%d_"#fld, offsetof(type, fld)
which for this struct mlx5e_rq_stats member, csum_complete_tail_slow, is
32, or space, and then the rest of the "offset" bytes are NULs.
struct mlx5e_rq_stats {
...
u64 csum_complete_tail_slow; /* 32 8 */
The use of vsnprintf(), within ethtool_sprintf(), reads past the end of
"format" and sees the format string as "ptp_rq%d_csum_complete_tail_slow ",
with %d getting resolved by MLX5E_PTP_CHANNEL_IX (value 0):
ethtool_sprintf(data, ptp_rq_stats_desc[i].format,
MLX5E_PTP_CHANNEL_IX);
With an output result of "ptp_rq0_csum_complete_tail_slow", which gets
precisely truncated to 31 characters with a trailing NUL.
So, instead of accidentally getting this correct due to the NUL bytes
at the end of the size_t that happens to follow the format string, just
make the string initializer 1 byte shorter by replacing "%d" with "0",
since MLX5E_PTP_CHANNEL_IX is already hard-coded. This results in no
initializer truncation and no need to call sprintf().
