Subject: [PATCH v2] net/smc: Replace use of strncpy on NUL-terminated string with strscpy
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2025 20:04:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250901030512.80099-1-bold.zone2373@fastmail.com> (raw)
strncpy is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated strings, as indicated in
Documentation/process/deprecated.rst. strncpy NUL-pads the destination
buffer and doesn't guarantee the destination buffer will be NUL
terminated.
Signed-off-by: James Flowers <bold.zone2373@fastmail.com>

V1 -> V2: Replaced with two argument version of strscpy
Note: this has only been compile tested.
