`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. The only caller of mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info() is mptsas_probe_one_phy() which can allocate rphy in either sas_end_device_alloc() or sas_expander_alloc(). Both of which zero-allocate: | rdev = kzalloc(sizeof(*rdev), GFP_KERNEL); ... this is supplied to mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info() as edev meaning that no future NUL-padding of edev members is needed. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Also use the more idiomatic strscpy pattern of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/linux-manual-4.8/strscpy.9.en.html [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Cc: linux-hardening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - use sizeof(dest) pattern (thanks Kees) - rebase onto mainline cbf3a2cb156a2c91 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230927-strncpy-drivers-message-fusion-mptsas-c-v1-1-edac65cd7010@xxxxxxxxxx --- Note: build-tested only.
