In diva_mnt_add_xdi_adapter() we do this:
  strcpy (clients[id].drvName,     tmp);
  strcpy (clients[id].Dbg.drvName, tmp);

The "clients[id].drvName" is a 128 character buffer and
"clients[id].Dbg.drvName" was originally a 16 character buffer but I've
changed it to 128 as well.  We don't actually use 128 characters but we
do use more than 16.

I've also changed the size of "tmp" to 128 characters instead of 256.

I don't see any reason for that change. The driver names here do not use 
more than 16 characters and when filled, the length is checked anyway.
Please avoid changing the size of that structure.

for that reason i am a fan of kasprintf().
Maybe this a solution here also ? samething like:

kasprintf (&buf, "ADAPTER:%d SN:%u-%d",12345678,90123,45,67):
...
kstrncpy(tmp,buf,sizeof(buf));
....
free(buf);

that would keep overflows away until the changes in the structure are ready.

this is tmp with a bigger size. It seems you are mixing the sizes of 
drvName and tmp.

What I mean is that later on we use strcpy() to copy "tmp" into
"clients[id].Dbg.drvName"

   927    strcpy (clients[id].drvName,     tmp);
   928    strcpy (clients[id].Dbg.drvName, tmp);
                               ^
                    this buffer is only 16 chars

Now I understand. You are right. So the fix would be to change these 
strcpy() to e.g. strncpy() or similar.

We need more than 16 characters to store the information.  What is the
problem with just making the buffer larger?

The larger buffer is not really needed. Later versions of the driver will 
use the strcpy/memcpy with checked size anyway.
I just want to avoid a change in the debug structure which is used in more than one module/tool.

But it shouldn't be a real problem.
