| |
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer() simply copies a string literal into `manufacturer`.
Another implementation of bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer() from drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c uses memset + strscpy: | void | bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer(struct bfa_ioc_s *ioc, char *manufacturer) | { | memset((void *)manufacturer, 0, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN); | strscpy(manufacturer, BFA_MFG_NAME, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN); | }
Let's use `strscpy_pad` to eliminate some redundant work while still NUL-terminating and NUL-padding the destination buffer.
