Subject: [PATCH 3.18 16/54] unifdef: use memcpy instead of strncpy
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 16:41:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181211151546.889898580@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181211151546.010073210@linuxfoundation.org>
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
commit 38c7b224ce22c25fed04007839edf974bd13439d upstream.
New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of
strncpy(p, q, strlen(q));
which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow
and odd way to write memcpy() in this case.
There was a comment about _why_ the code used strncpy - to avoid the
terminating NUL byte, but memcpy does the same and avoids the warning.
