Subject: [PATCH] video: fbdev: fsl-diu-fb: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 22:48:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240320-strncpy-drivers-video-fbdev-fsl-diu-fb-c-v1-1-3cd3c012fa8c@google.com> (raw)

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

A better alternative is strscpy() as it guarantees NUL-termination on
the destination buffer.

Since we are eventually copying over to userspace, let's ensure we
NUL-pad the destination buffer by using the pad variant of strscpy.
- core/fb_chrdev.c:
234 |	err = copy_to_user(&fix32->id, &fix->id, sizeof(fix32->id));

Furthermore, we can use the new 2-argument variants of strscpy() and
strscpy_pad() introduced by Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow
2-argument strscpy()") to simplify the syntax even more.
