nfp: 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 expect res->name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format strings: | dev_err(cpp->dev.parent, "Dangling area: %d:%d:%d:0x%0llx-0x%0llx%s%s\n", | NFP_CPP_ID_TARGET_of(res->cpp_id), | NFP_CPP_ID_ACTION_of(res->cpp_id), | NFP_CPP_ID_TOKEN_of(res->cpp_id), | res->start, res->end, | res->name ? " " : "", | res->name ? res->name : ""); ... and with strcmp() | if (!strcmp(res->name, NFP_RESOURCE_TBL_NAME)) { Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as `res` is already zero-allocated: | res = kzalloc(sizeof(*res), GFP_KERNEL); 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 also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) rather than (dest, src, SOME_LEN). Typically the pattern of 1) allocate memory for string, 2) copy string into freshly-allocated memory is a candidate for kmemdup_nul() but in this case we are allocating the entirety of the `res` struct and that should stay as is. As mentioned above, simple 1:1 replacement of strncpy -> strscpy :) 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> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Louis Peens <louis.peens@corigine.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231011-strncpy-drivers-net-ethernet-netronome-nfp-nfpcore-nfp_resource-c-v1-1-7d1c984f0eba@google.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
