Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: Replace memcpy + NUL termination in ecryptfs_copy_filename
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 14:12:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260111131301.548411-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Use kmemdup_nul() to copy 'name' instead of using memcpy() followed by a
manual NUL termination. Remove the local return variable and the goto
label to simplify the code. No functional changes.
