strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We know that info-device should be NUL-terminated based on its use with strlen(): | static int __init mtdpstore_init(void) | { | int ret; | struct mtdpstore_context *cxt = &oops_cxt; | struct pstore_blk_config *info = &cxt->info; | | ret = pstore_blk_get_config(info); | if (unlikely(ret)) | return ret; | | if (strlen(info->device) == 0) { | pr_err("mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty)\n"); ... Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Note that this patch relies on the _new_ 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit e6584c39 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
