gcc 7.1 reports the following warning:
block/elevator.c: In function ‘elv_register’:
block/elevator.c:898:5: warning: ‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=]
"%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name);
^~~~~~~~~~
block/elevator.c:897:3: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 7 and 22 bytes into a destination of size 21
snprintf(e->icq_cache_name, sizeof(e->icq_cache_name),
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bug is that the name of the icq_cache is 6 characters longer than
the elevator name, but only ELV_NAME_MAX + 5 characters were reserved
for it --- so in the case of a maximum-length elevator name, the 'q'
character in "_io_cq" would be truncated by snprintf(). Fix it by
reserving ELV_NAME_MAX + 6 characters instead.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
