If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Justin Stitt [ Upstream commit 473f8f2d1bfe1103f20140fdc80cad406b4d68c0 ] `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 can see that linfo->lmac_type is expected to be NUL-terminated based on the `... - 1`'s present in the current code. Presumably making room for a NUL-byte at the end of the buffer. 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. Let's also prefer the more idiomatic strscpy usage of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) rather than (dest, src, SOME_LEN).
