TLV_SET is called with a data pointer and a len parameter that tells us
how many bytes are pointed to by data. When invoking memcpy() we need
to careful to only copy len bytes.
Previously we would copy TLV_LENGTH(len) bytes which would copy an extra
4 bytes past the end of the data pointer which newer GCC versions
complain about.
In file included from test.c:17:
In function 'TLV_SET',
inlined from 'test' at test.c:186:5:
/usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:317:3:
warning: 'memcpy' forming offset [33, 36] is out of the bounds [0, 32]
of object 'bearer_name' with type 'char[32]' [-Warray-bounds]
memcpy(TLV_DATA(tlv_ptr), data, tlv_len);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.c: In function 'test':
test.c::161:10: note:
'bearer_name' declared here
char bearer_name[TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME];
^~~~~~~~~~~
We still want to ensure any padding bytes at the end are initialised, do
this with a explicit memset() rather than copy bytes past the end of
data. Apply the same logic to TCM_SET.

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.
