Arnd Bergmann 0e498db680 md: raid5: avoid string overflow warning 
[ Upstream commit 53b8d89ddb ]

gcc warns about a possible overflow of the kmem_cache string, when adding
four characters to a string of the same length:

drivers/md/raid5.c: In function 'setup_conf':
drivers/md/raid5.c:2207:34: error: '-alt' directive writing 4 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 32 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
  sprintf(conf->cache_name[1], "%s-alt", conf->cache_name[0]);
                                  ^~~~
drivers/md/raid5.c:2207:2: note: 'sprintf' output between 5 and 36 bytes into a destination of size 32
  sprintf(conf->cache_name[1], "%s-alt", conf->cache_name[0]);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I'm counting correctly, we need 11 characters for the fixed part
of the string and 18 characters for a 64-bit pointer (when no gendisk
is used), so that leaves three characters for conf->level, which should
always be sufficient.

This makes the code use snprintf() with the correct length, to
make the code more robust against changes, and to get the compiler
to shut up.

In commit f4be6b43f1 ("md/raid5: ensure we create a unique name for
kmem_cache when mddev has no gendisk") from 2010, Neil said that
the pointer could be removed "shortly" once devices without gendisk
are disallowed. I have no idea if that happened, but if it did, that
should probably be changed as well.

README 

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.
