gcc 10.0.1 reports: ../drivers/net/hinic/base/hinic_pmd_hwdev.c: In function ‘print_cable_info’: ../drivers/net/hinic/base/hinic_pmd_hwdev.c:1398:3: warning: ‘snprintf’ argument 4 may overlap destination object ‘tmp_str’ [-Wrestrict] 1398 | snprintf(tmp_str + strlen(tmp_str), (sizeof(tmp_str) - 1), | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1399 | "%s, Temperature: %u", tmp_str, | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1400 | info->cable_temp); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The warning is that tmp_str is in both src and dest. Anyway, the current code is incorrect and because of the +strlen the existing string will be repeated twice and max length does not limit to the end of the string. Fix by removing tmp_str from the src of snprintf and adding the correct max length.
