Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] vhost: remove use of strncpy
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:42:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817134432.1206297-4-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817134432.1206297-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The strlcpy is preferred over use of strncpy, which removes the need to
try and explicitly null-terminate some string buffers. We can also
simplify some name length handling as a result of this, as we no longer
need to use strnlen to clamp the length before calling the set_ifname
function.
Fixes: a277c7159876 ("vhost: refactor code structure")
Fixes: 0adb8eccc6a6 ("vhost: add VDUSE device creation and destruction")
Fixes: c171a2d5ff17 ("vhost: use strlcpy instead of strncpy")
