Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/12] netfilter: x_tables: replace strlcat() with snprintf()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:49:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702105003.13550-3-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702105003.13550-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Ian Bridges <icb@fastmail.org>
In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], replace the
strscpy()/strlcat() pairs in xt_proto_init() and xt_proto_fini() with
snprintf(), which builds each /proc file name in a single call.
Each name is "<prefix><suffix>", where <prefix> is the address-family
string xt_prefix[af] and <suffix> is one of the FORMAT_TABLES,
FORMAT_MATCHES or FORMAT_TARGETS literals. Prepend %s to the FORMAT
macros and switch to snprintf().
