Increase size of the servername array to avoid truncated output warning.

If we choose this approach to removing the warning, then we should use
UNIX_PATH_MAX rather than 108.

However the longest server name copied in here will in practice be
   /var/run/rpcbind.sock

so the extra 60 bytes on the stack is wasted ...  maybe that doesn't
matter.

The string is only used by xprt_create_transport() which requires it to
be less than RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN - which is 256.
So maybe that would be a better value to use for the array size ....  if
we assume that stack space isn't a problem.

What ever number we use, I'd rather it was a defined constant, and not
an apparently arbitrary number.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I'm thinking  about use a dynamic space alloc method like kasprintf to 
avoid space waste.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I read the 
xprt_create_transport,  the RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN

is only use to xprt_create_transport .

Whether we could check the sun->sun_path length before using snprintf?  
The array size should smaller

than  the minimum of sun->sun_path and RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN.

Or use the dynamic space allocate method to save space.

I think that dynamically allocating space is not a good idea.  It means
you have to handle failure which is just a waste of code.

I'd suggest simply changing the array to RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN.

I think this has come up before, but i could be mis-remembering.
Please could you do a search for the discussion. The fact it is not
solved suggests to me it is not so simple to fix. Maybe there is some
protocol implications here.

All I could find was 

 https://lore.kernel.org/all/1648103566-15528-1-git-send-email-baihaowen@meizu.com/

which essentially followed the same path as this conversation.  The
patch was resubmitted using UNIX_PATH_MAX but never responded to by the
relevant maintainers.

There are no protocol implications.  This string is only used for
informational messages.
