Following warning is found when using W=1 to build kernel:

In function ‘nvkm_udevice_info’,
    inlined from ‘nvkm_udevice_mthd’ at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:195:10:
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:164:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  164 |  strncpy(args->v0.chip, device->chip->name, sizeof(args->v0.chip));
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:165:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 64 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  165 |  strncpy(args->v0.name, device->name, sizeof(args->v0.name));

The reason of this warning is strncpy() does not guarantee that the
destination buffer will be NUL terminated. If the length of source string
is bigger than number we set by third input parameter, only first [number]
of characters is copied to the destination, and no NUL-terminated is
automatically added. There are some potential risks.

Isn't it better to use snprintf()?

yes, you are right,  snprintf() is better. Most of drivers use 
snprintf() to format a string,

but still some examples in kernel that use it for copy.


I modify to code to the follow and I think it's the same with strncpy 
but more safety
