Subject: Re: [PATCH][next] cgroup: Avoid -Wstringop-overflow warnings

Hi all,

I wonder if you have any suggestions on how to address this issue. As it seems that
my last attempt caused some boot failures[1][2].

At first, I thought that the right way to fix this was through a similar fix as this
one[3]. But it seems I'm missing something else that I cannot determine yet.

These -Wstringop-overflow warnings are mostly the last ones remaining before we can
finally enable this compiler option, globally.

Any help or advice on how to properly address this is greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks!
