[PATCH v2 06/10] mm/kmemleak: Replace strncpy() with __get_task_comm()

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

 



Using __get_task_comm() to read the task comm ensures that the name is
always NUL-terminated, regardless of the source string. This approach also
facilitates future extensions to the task comm.
