Subject: [PATCH 3/3] vhost: remove use of strncpy
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:19:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623141930.704771-4-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623141930.704771-1-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")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
