Subject: [PATCH net-next 9/9] igc: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2023 12:04:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231017190411.2199743-10-jacob.e.keller@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231017190411.2199743-1-jacob.e.keller@intel.com>
From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We expect netdev->name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format
strings:
| if (q_vector->rx.ring && q_vector->tx.ring)
| sprintf(q_vector->name, "%s-TxRx-%u", netdev->name,
Furthermore, we do not need NUL-padding as netdev is already
zero-allocated:
| netdev = alloc_etherdev_mq(sizeof(struct igc_adapter),
| IGC_MAX_TX_QUEUES);
...
alloc_etherdev() -> alloc_etherdev_mq() -> alloc_etherdev_mqs() ->
alloc_netdev_mqs() ...
| p = kvzalloc(alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL);
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
