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 partition_name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format strings: | dev_info(hostdata->dev, "host srp version: %s, " | "host partition %s (%d), OS %d, max io %u\n", | hostdata->madapter_info.srp_version, | hostdata->madapter_info.partition_name, | be32_to_cpu(hostdata->madapter_info.partition_number), | be32_to_cpu(hostdata->madapter_info.os_type), | be32_to_cpu(hostdata->madapter_info.port_max_txu[0])); ... | len = snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", | hostdata->madapter_info.partition_name); Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as madapter_info is explicitly memset to 0: | memset(&hostdata->madapter_info, 0x00, | sizeof(hostdata->madapter_info)); 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
