From e43e6d9582e0dcd20532310dbb9f47dfe7a74ace Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Stitt Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 19:39:39 +0000 Subject: s390/qeth: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect new_entry->dbf_name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with strcmp(): | if (strcmp(entry->dbf_name, name) == 0) { Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as new_entry is kzalloc'd just before this assignment: | new_entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct qeth_dbf_entry), GFP_KERNEL); ... rendering any future NUL-byte assignments (like the ones strncpy() does) redundant. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
