Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kernfs: Convert kernfs_name_locked() from strlcpy() to strscpy()
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2023 11:21:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231116192127.1558276-2-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231116191718.work.246-kees@kernel.org>

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed
the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead
to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated[1].
Additionally, it returns the size of the source string, not the
resulting size of the destination string. In an effort to remove strlcpy()
completely[2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Nothing actually checks the return value coming from kernfs_name_locked(),
so this has no impact on error paths. The caller hierarchy is:

kernfs_name_locked()
        kernfs_name()
                pr_cont_kernfs_name()
                        return value ignored
                cgroup_name()
                        current_css_set_cg_links_read()
                                return value ignored
                        print_page_owner_memcg()
                                return value ignored
