Subject: [PATCH] drbd: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:04:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112170412.741013-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace
it with the safer strscpy(). No functional changes.
Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strcpy [1]
