Subject: [PATCH] hostfs: fix string handling in __dentry_name()
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2025 23:09:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250117230913.GS1977892@ZenIV> (raw)

[in viro/vfs.git#fixes, going to Linus unless anyone objects]

strcpy() should not be used with destination potentially overlapping
the source; what's more, strscpy() in there is pointless - we already
know the amount we want to copy; might as well use memcpy().

Fixes: c278e81b8a02 "hostfs: Remove open coded strcpy()"
