strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. This patch replaces 3 callsites of strncpy(). The first two populate the destination buffer `nsm.name` -- which we expect to be NUL-terminated based on their use with format strings. Firstly, as I understand it, virtio_rpmsg_announce_create() creates an rpmsg_ns_msg and sends via: virtio_rpmsg_bus.c: 336: err = rpmsg_sendto(rpdev->ept, &nsm, sizeof(nsm), RPMSG_NS_ADDR); ... which uses: virtio_rpmsg_sendto() -> rpmsg_send_offchannel_raw() ... which copies its data into an rpmsg_hdr `msg` in virtio_rpmsg_bus.c 618: memcpy(msg->data, data, len); This callback is invoked when a message is received from the remote processor: rpmsg_ns.c: 30: /* invoked when a name service announcement arrives */ 31: static int rpmsg_ns_cb(struct rpmsg_device *rpdev, void *data, int len, 32: void *priv, u32 src) 33: { 34: struct rpmsg_ns_msg *msg = data; ... 50: /* don't trust the remote processor for null terminating the name */ 51: msg->name[RPMSG_NAME_SIZE - 1] = '\0'; ... which leads into the use of `name` within a format string: rpmsg_ns.c: 57: dev_info(dev, "%sing channel %s addr 0x%x\n", 58: rpmsg32_to_cpu(rpdev, msg->flags) & RPMSG_NS_DESTROY ? 59: "destroy" : "creat", msg->name, chinfo.dst); We can also observe that `nsm` is not zero-initialized and as such we should maintain the NUL-padding behavior that strncpy() provides: virtio_rpmsg_bus.c: 330: struct rpmsg_ns_msg nsm; Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer. Now, for the third and final destination buffer rpdev->id.name we can just go for strscpy() (not _pad()) as rpdev points to &vch->rpdev: | rpdev = &vch->rpdev; ... and vch is zero-allocated: | vch = kzalloc(sizeof(*vch), GFP_KERNEL); ... this renders any additional NUL-byte assignments (like the ones strncpy() or strscpy_pad() does) redundant.
