e1000: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
`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 can see that netdev->name is expected to be NUL-terminated based on it's usage with format strings: | pr_info("%s NIC Link is Down\n", | netdev->name); A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. This is in line with other uses of strscpy on netdev->name: $ rg "strscpy\(netdev\->name.*pci.*" drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c 7455: strscpy(netdev->name, pci_name(pdev), sizeof(netdev->name)); drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c 10839: strscpy(netdev->name, pci_name(pdev), sizeof(netdev->name)); Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/linux-manual-4.8/strscpy.9.en.html [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231017190411.2199743-5-jacob.e.keller@intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
