From: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cb8ffde5694ae5fffb456eae932aac442aa3a207 ] Despite a proper NULL-termination after strncpy(..., ..., IFNAMSIZ - 1), GCC8 still complains about *expected* string truncation: xsk.c:330:2: error: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 15 bytes from a string of length 15 [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, xsk->ifname, IFNAMSIZ - 1); This patch gets rid of the issue altogether by using memcpy instead. There is no performance regression, as strncpy will still copy and fill all of the bytes anyway. v1->v2: - rebase against bpf tree.
