Did we find a bug in drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c?

i386 allmodconfig:

In file included from ./include/linux/bitmap.h:8:0,
                 from ./include/linux/cpumask.h:11,

./include/linux/string.h:309:4: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter
    __read_overflow2();


If so, can you please interpret this for the infiniband developers?
