Re: [PATCH] drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy: use strlcpy instead of strncpy

Hello all:

  sorry, after checking the details:
    I think this patch is incorrect.
      we can not assume that the parameter "char *buf" is terminated by '\0'
      so we should only use strlcpy instead of strncpy, without touching 'min(...'

  since it is already integrated into main branch (at least, in next-20130118).
    I should send additional patch to fix it.

  please help to check, thanks.

  oh, sorry, it is my fault.

  according to fill_write_buffer in fs/sysfs/file.c,
    we can assume that 'const char *buf' must be '\0' based string.

  please skip original reply.
