Subject: [PATCH 2/7] ALSA: ac97: replace strlcat() with scnprintf()
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 11:41:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807114139.1661-3-mahad.ibrahim.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807114139.1661-1-mahad.ibrahim.dev@gmail.com>
At this point name holds the vendor name written by the earlier
strscpy(). A space and then the codec name were appended with two
strlcat() calls. The else branch below already took its own offset
with strlen() before calling snprintf().
Take that offset once, before the branch, and use it for both. The
two appends become a single scnprintf() writing " %s" at the offset,
and the else branch uses the same variable instead of computing its
own.
The bytes written and the point at which the result is truncated are
unchanged.
