Subject: [PATCH v2] KEYS: encrypted: Replace deprecated strcpy and improve get_derived_key
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 22:55:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113215546.136145-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
strcpy() is deprecated; use the safer strscpy() and use its return
value, the number of bytes copied, instead of calling strlen() on the
destination buffer again. String truncation can be ignored since
'derived_buf' is guaranteed to be large enough.

Changes in v2:
- Revert some changes to include the trailing '\0' even if key_type == 0
since this would change the bytes passed to sha256() (Eric Biggers)
- Use strscpy() and its return value instead
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251113135831.98587-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
