Subject: [PATCH] USB: gadget: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 17:56:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250320165647.34859-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use
strscpy() instead. Since kzalloc() already zeroes out the destination
buffer, the potential NUL-padding by strncpy() is unnecessary. strscpy()
copies only the required characters and guarantees NUL-termination.
Since the destination buffer has a fixed length, strscpy() automatically
determines its size using sizeof() when the argument is omitted. This
makes an explicit sizeof() call unnecessary.
The source string is also NUL-terminated and meets the __must_be_cstr()
requirement of strscpy().
No functional changes intended.
