Subject: [PATCH] net/ipv4: Replace tcp_ca_get_name_by_key()'s strncpy() with strscpy()
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2024 10:16:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240711171652.work.887-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

Replace the deprecated[1] use of strncpy() in tcp_ca_get_name_by_key().
The only caller passes the results to nla_put_string(), so trailing
padding is not needed.

Since passing "buffer" decays it to a pointer, the size can't be
trivially determined by the compiler. ca->name is the same length,
so strscpy() won't fail (when ca->name is NUL-terminated). Include the
length explicitly instead of using the 2-argument strscpy().
