Hi Baris,

I expect this patch floundered because it was not CCed to netdev.

In any case, there was a separate effort to address this problem.

- [PATCH v2] net: rds: Replace strncpy with strscpy in connection setup
  by Shankari Anand
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250426192113.47012-1-shankari.ak0208@gmail.com/

I would suggest that a successful patch should:

* Use the two-argument variant of strscpy_pad (see thread above)
* Include commentary in the commit message regarding
  - Why strctpy* is preferred over strncpy (you already did that :).
  - Why strscpy_pad is appropriate instead of strscpy
* CC all relevant parties, including netdev, the Netdev maintainers,
  Shankari Anand and Allison Henderson
