From: Jim Meyering <meyering@xxxxxxxxxx> Each of the protocols[i].name strings (statically declared above) has length less than 16, so this use of strncpy is misleading: strncpy(pSMB->DialectsArray+count, protocols[i].name, 16); Besides, if a new name were added with length N >= 16, the existing strncpy-using code would be buggy, creating a ->DialectsArray buffer containing N-16+1 unset bytes where the NUL terminator should have been. Instead, traverse the name only once go get its length, use a BUG_ON assertion to enforce the length restriction and use memcpy to perform the copy.
