Subject: ocfs2: replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 19:53:45 +0100
strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking on
the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace it
with the safer strscpy(), and copy directly into '->rf_signature' instead
of using the start of the struct as the destination buffer.
