[PATCH] HID: uhid: use strlcpy() instead of strncpy()

From: Xiongfeng Wang <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-09 12:18:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hid core layer, the rest, uhid userspace hid io driver · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds, David Rheinsberg

From: Xiongfeng Wang <redacted>

gcc-8 reports

drivers/hid/uhid.c: In function 'uhid_dev_create2':
./include/linux/string.h:245:9: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' output may
be truncated copying 127 bytes from a string of length 127
[-Wstringop-truncation]

The compiler require that the input param 'len' of strncpy() should be
greater than the length of the src string, so that '\0' is copied as
well. We can just use strlcpy() to avoid this warning.
