'firmware' is a module param which may been longer than firmware_id, so using strlcpy() to guard against overflows. Also priv is allocated with zeroed memory,no need to set firmware_id[0] to '\0'. v1 -> v2: remove priv->firmware_id[0] = '\0'; Signed-off-by: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c b/drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c index b01dc34..cec715b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c @@ -1516,10 +1516,9 @@ struct net_device *init_atmel_card(unsigned short irq, unsigned long port, priv->present_callback = card_present; priv->card = card; priv->firmware = NULL; - priv->firmware_id[0] = '\0'; priv->firmware_type = fw_type; if (firmware) /* module parameter */ - strcpy(priv->firmware_id, firmware); + strlcpy(priv->firmware_id, firmware, sizeof(priv->firmware_id)); priv->bus_type = card_present ?
