Following warning was reported by Kernel Test Robot. In function 'utf8_parse_version', inlined from 'utf8_load' at fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:195:7: >> fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:175:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 12 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 175 | strncpy(version_string, version, sizeof(version_string)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The -Wstringop-truncation warning highlights the unintended uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NULL character from the source string. Unlike strncpy(), strscpy() always null-terminates the destination string, hence use strscpy() instead of strncpy().
