Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] uaccess: rust: add UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 09:02:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429-strncpy-from-user-v2-2-7e6facac0bf0@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250429-strncpy-from-user-v2-0-7e6facac0bf0@google.com>
This patch adds a more convenient method for reading C strings from
userspace. Logic is added to NUL-terminate the buffer when necessary so
that a &CStr can be returned.
Note that we treat attempts to read past `self.length` as a fault, so
this returns EFAULT if that limit is exceeded before `buf.len()` is
reached.
