Replace the deprecated strncpy() with strscpy() as the destination buffer is NUL-terminated and does not require any trailing NUL-padding. Also increase the length to 252 as NUL-termination is guaranteed. Signed-off-by: Pranav Tyagi <redacted>
Hi Pranav, As a non-bug fix for Networking code this should be targeted at net-next. And it's helpful to do so explicitly in the patch subject, like this: [PATCH v2 net-next] ... Also, unfortunately the timing of this patch is not good as net-next is currently closed for the merge window. You can find more information about the above, and other aspects of the workflow for the Networking subsystem in https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html ## Form letter - net-next-closed The merge window for v6.16 has begun and therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only. Please repost when net-next reopens after June 8th. RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time. -- pw-bot: defer
