strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. There is some care taken to ensure these destination buffers are NUL-terminated by bounding the strncpy()'s by ORANGEFS_NAME_MAX - 1 or ORANGEFS_MAX_SERVER_ADDR_LEN - 1. Instead, we can use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() to guarantee NUL-termination on the destination buffers while simplifying the code. Based on usage with printf-likes, we can see these buffers are expected to be NUL-terminated: | gossip_debug(GOSSIP_NAME_DEBUG, | "%s: doing lookup on %s under %pU,%d\n", | __func__, | new_op->upcall.req.lookup.d_name, | &new_op->upcall.req.lookup.parent_refn.khandle, | new_op->upcall.req.lookup.parent_refn.fs_id); ... | gossip_debug(GOSSIP_SUPER_DEBUG, | "Attempting ORANGEFS Remount via host %s\n", | new_op->upcall.req.fs_mount.orangefs_config_server); NUL-padding isn't required for any of these destination buffers as they've all been zero-allocated with op_alloc() or kzalloc().

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 reStructuredText 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.
