strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. Other implementations of .*get_drvinfo use strscpy so this patch brings lan78xx_get_drvinfo() in line as well: igb/igb_ethtool.c +851 static void igb_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, igbvf/ethtool.c 167:static void igbvf_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, i40e/i40e_ethtool.c 1999:static void i40e_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, e1000/e1000_ethtool.c 529:static void e1000_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, ixgbevf/ethtool.c 211:static void ixgbevf_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Cc: linux-hardening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note: build-tested only.
