[PATCH v2 2/2] zram: zram_drv: replace 'strlcpy()'

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

 



'strlcpy()' shouldn't be used, and should be replaced with safer
alternatives. Cristoph Hellwig suggested [1] that 'kmemdup_nul()' should
be used in two cases instead of 'strscpy()', and that a regular
'strcpy()' should be used in the third case. [2][3]
