The patch seem to be fine. Please consider this patch as an Acked by me. Regards, Nagalakshmi -----Original Message----- From: Ferenc Wagner [mailto:wferi@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 6:15 PM To: Andrew Morton Cc: Desai, Kashyap; Support; DL-MPT Fusion Linux; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] SCSI: fusion: ensure NUL-termination of MptCallbacksName elements Using strlcpy instead of memcpy makes the strlen() calls superfluous and also ensures zero-termination of the copied string. At the same time get rid of the magic constant 50. Actually, I can't see why copying the callback name is necessary instead of simply storing a pointer to it (just like to the callback function itself), but that goes beyond the scope of this fix.
