It's harmless because the badding byte is likely zero but it makes static checkers complain. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Technically the memset() is not needed because strncpy() will pad the rest of the buffer with zeros but I was worried that people would be paranoid. diff --git a/drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c b/drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c index 251e2ff..a1ada4a 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c @@ -2803,7 +2803,7 @@ void bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer(struct bfa_ioc_s *ioc, char *manufacturer) { memset((void *)manufacturer, 0, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN); - memcpy(manufacturer, BFA_MFG_NAME, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN); + strncpy(manufacturer, BFA_MFG_NAME, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN); } void -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
