strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. Let's opt for the new 2-argument version of strscpy() which guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer and simplifies snytax. The NUL-padding behavior that strncpy() provides is not required as u3d->eps is already zero-allocated: | u3d->eps = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); 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 Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note: build-tested only.
