Simply ignore the warning then, I thought you were reporting
a build failure.

Looking at the specific case of net/core/pktgen.c:867

"len" is variable in the net/core/pktgen.c line that emits the
warning

Even though it is limited to "sizeof(name) - 1" via strn_len()'s
third argument, that's a lot to expect the compiler to dig into
and be able to conclude invariants from.

Please just ignore the warnings.

Thanks.
