The patch titled Subject: init: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is init-move-from-strlcpy-with-unused-retval-to-strscpy.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/init-move-from-strlcpy-with-unused-retval-to-strscpy.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: init: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2022 23:01:59 +0200 Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.
