We expect netdev->name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format strings: | if (q_vector->rx.ring && q_vector->tx.ring) | sprintf(q_vector->name, "%s-TxRx-%u", netdev->name, Furthermore, we do not need NUL-padding as netdev is already zero-allocated: | netdev = alloc_etherdev_mq(sizeof(struct igc_adapter), | IGC_MAX_TX_QUEUES); ... alloc_etherdev() -> alloc_etherdev_mq() -> alloc_etherdev_mqs() -> alloc_netdev_mqs() ... | p = kvzalloc(alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL); 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.
