[PATCH] drm/nouveau/pm: refactor deprecated strncpy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees
NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
