Message-ID: <20231005-strncpy-drivers-net-dsa-lan9303-core-c-v1-1-5a66c538147e@google.com> Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2023 00:30:18 +0000 From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@...gle.com> To: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>, Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>, Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@...il.com>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>, Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-hardening@...r.kernel.org, Justin Stitt <justinstitt@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: lan9303: replace deprecated strncpy with memcpy `strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous interfaces. Let's opt for memcpy as we are copying strings into slices of length `ETH_GSTRING_LEN` within the `data` buffer. Other similar get_strings() implementations [2] [3] use memcpy().
