[PATCH v6 7/9] tracing: Replace strncpy() with strscpy()

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

 



Using strscpy() 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.
