Subject: [PATCH] drm/modes: refactor deprecated strncpy
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 18:08:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230914-strncpy-drivers-gpu-drm-drm_modes-c-v1-1-079b532553a3@google.com> (raw)

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees
NUL-termination on the destination buffer and doesn't incur the
performance loss of unnecessarily NUL-padding.

This patch is basically a resend of [1] by Xu but rebased onto mainline.

This patch is also similar to:
commit 0f9aa074c92dd ("drm/modes: Use strscpy() to copy command-line mode name")
