Subject: [PATCH] net/rds: zero last byte for strncpy
Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 11:19:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <513958C4.1020404@asianux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362502844.2791.32.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com>
for NUL terminated string, need be always sure '\0' in the end.
additional info:
strncpy will pads with zeroes to the end of the given buffer.
should initialise every bit of memory that is going to be copied to userland
