Subject: [PATCH net-next] netfilter: xtables: Use strscpy() instead of strscpy_pad()
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 19:55:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318185519.107323-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

kzalloc() already zero-initializes the destination buffer, making
strscpy() sufficient for safely copying the name. The additional NUL-
padding performed by strscpy_pad() is unnecessary.

The size parameter is optional, and strscpy() automatically determines
the size of the destination buffer using sizeof() if the argument is
omitted. This makes the explicit sizeof() call unnecessary; remove it.

No functional changes intended.
