Subject: [PATCH 0/7] ALSA: remove remaining strlcat() users under sound/
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 11:41:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807114139.1661-1-mahad.ibrahim.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
strlcat() is deprecated and slated for removal once its remaining
users are converted. This series converts the sound/ users outside
of ASoC.
Each site is converted to an explicit offset plus a bounded copy:
strscpy() where the appended text has no format specifiers, and
scnprintf() where it does or where the resulting length is needed.
After this series the only remaining strlcat() user under sound/ is
sound/soc/codecs/wm_adsp_fw_find_test.c, which goes via ASoC.
Build-tested with allmodconfig and boot-tested on x86_64.
The generated strings were checked against the pre-patch code in a
userspace harness for empty, whitespace-padded, exact-fit and
oversized inputs, and came out identical. No audio hardware was
available here, so the drivers themselves have not been exercised at
runtime.
