[PATCH] net/rds: zero last byte for strncpy

From: Chen Gang <hidden>
Date: 2013-03-08 03:19:58
Subsystem: networking [general], rds - reliable datagram sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Allison Henderson, Linus Torvalds

  for NUL terminated string, need be always sure '\0' in the end.

additional info:
  strncpy will pads with zeroes to the end of the given buffer.
  should initialise every bit of memory that is going to be copied to userland
