This series contains multiple replacements of strncpy throughout the scsi subsystem. 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 details of each replacement will be in their respective patch. --- Changes in v3: - update trailers (thanks Kees) - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240228-strncpy-drivers-scsi-mpi3mr-mpi3mr_fw-c-v2-0-dacebd3fcfa0@xxxxxxxxxx Changes in v2: - for (1/7): change strscpy to simple const char* assignments - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240223-strncpy-drivers-scsi-mpi3mr-mpi3mr_fw-c-v1-0-9cd3882f0700@xxxxxxxxxx --- Justin Stitt (7): scsi: mpi3mr: replace deprecated strncpy with assignments scsi: mpt3sas: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy scsi: qedf: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy scsi: qla4xxx: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy scsi: devinfo: replace strncpy and manual pad scsi: smartpqi: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy scsi: wd33c93: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_main.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_fw.c | 10 +++++----- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_transport.c | 18 +++++++++--------- drivers/scsi/qedf/qedf_main.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_mbx.c | 17 ++++++++++++----- drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_os.c | 14 +++++++------- drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c | 18 ++++++++++-------- drivers/scsi/smartpqi/smartpqi_init.c | 5 ++--- drivers/scsi/wd33c93.c | 4 +--- 10 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 39133352cbed6626956d38ed72012f49b0421e7b change-id: 20240222-strncpy-drivers-scsi-mpi3mr-mpi3mr_fw-c-1b130d51bdcc Best regards, -- Justin Stitt <justinstitt@xxxxxxxxxx>
