As Linus mentioned in [1], currently we have several memcpy() use-cases
which use 'current->comm' to copy the task name over to local copies.
For an example:
...
char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
memcpy(comm, current->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
...
These should be rather calling a wrappper like "get_task_array()",
which is implemented as:
static __always_inline void
__cstr_array_copy(char *dst,
const char *src, __kernel_size_t size)
{
memcpy(dst, src, size);
dst[size] = 0;
}
#define get_task_array(dst,src) \
__cstr_array_copy(dst, src, __must_be_array(dst))
The relevant 'memcpy()' users were identified using the following search
pattern:
$ git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'

Same suggestion, make it a Link tag.
