scsi: 3w-sas: 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. This pattern of strncpy(dest, src, strlen(src)) is extremely bug-prone. This pattern basically never results in NUL-terminated destination strings unless `dest` was zero-initialized. The current implementation may be accidentally correct as tw_dev is zero-allocated via: host = scsi_host_alloc(&driver_template, sizeof(TW_Device_Extension)); ... tw_dev = shost_priv(host); ... wherein scsi_host_alloc() zero-allocates host: shost = kzalloc(sizeof(struct Scsi_Host) + privsize, GFP_KERNEL); Also, further suggesting this change is worthwhile is another strscpy() usage in 3w-9xxx.c: strscpy(tw_dev->tw_compat_info.driver_version, TW_DRIVER_VERSION, sizeof(tw_dev->tw_compat_info.driver_version)); Considering the above, a suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Let's not be accidentally correct, let's be definitely correct.
