fixes these warnings: 'nfnl_cthelper_create' at net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c:237:2, 'nfnl_cthelper_new' at net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c:450:9: ./include/linux/string.h:246:9: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] return __builtin_strncpy(p, q, size); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moreover, strncpy assumes null-terminated source buffers, but thats not the case here. Unlike strlcpy, nla_strlcpy *does* pad the destination buffer while also considering nla attribute size.
