Subject: [PATCH] s390/ipl: refactor deprecated strncpy
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 21:56:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230811-arch-s390-kernel-v1-1-7edbeeab3809@google.com> (raw)
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
Use `strscpy_pad` which has the same behavior as `strncpy` here with the
extra safeguard of guaranteeing NUL-termination of destination strings.
In it's current form, this may result in silent truncation if the src
string has the same size as the destination string.
