Yes, so if the array size is N + 1 then writing to offset N is valid.
It's a bit confusing that the paths using BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX are +1
bigger so it's not folling the patterns using N as the limit.

> 2. strnlen should be used to confirm the presence of \0 in tgtdev_name

Yes, this would work, with the slight difference that memchr looks for
the 0 character regardless of any other, while strnlen also looks for
any intermediate 0. memchr is an optimization, for input parameter
validation it does not matter.

> 3. Input values should not be subjectively updated

Yeah, this is indeed subjective, I propsed that because we already do
that for subvolume ioctls. This probably would never show up in
practice, the paths are not that long and even if the real linux limit
is PATH_MAX (4096) and BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX was originally set to a lower
value it's still enough for everybody.

>From practiacal perspective I don't see any difference between
overwriting the last place of NUL or checking it by strnlen/memchr.

> 4. The current issue only involves tgtdev_name

Right, that needs to be fixed. With bugs like that it's always good to
look around for similar cases or audit everything of similar pattern,
here it's an ioctl taking a user-specified path. If the target path is
fixed, we need the source path fixed too. It can be a separate patch, no
problem.
