scsi: ibmvfc: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()
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 these fields to be NUL-terminated as the property names from
which they are derived are also NUL-terminated.
Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as our destination buffers are
already NUL-allocated and any future NUL-byte assignments are redundant
(like the ones that strncpy() does).
ibmvfc_probe() ->
| struct ibmvfc_host *vhost;
| struct Scsi_Host *shost;
...
| shost = scsi_host_alloc(&driver_template, sizeof(*vhost));
... **side note: is this a bug? Looks like a type to me ^^^^^**
...
| vhost = shost_priv(shost);
... where shost_priv() is:
| static inline void *shost_priv(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
| {
| return (void *)shost->hostdata;
| }
.. and:
scsi_host_alloc() ->
| shost = kzalloc(sizeof(struct Scsi_Host) + privsize, GFP_KERNEL);
And for login_info->..., NUL-padding is also not required as it is
explicitly memset to 0:
| memset(login_info, 0, sizeof(*login_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.
