The second one modifies nla_strlcpy to return the same value as strscpy, i.e. number of bytes written or -E2BIG if src was truncated. It also modifies code that calls nla_strlcpy and checks for its return value. 3. The third renames nla_strlcpy to nla_strscpy. Unfortunately, I did not find how to create struct nlattr objects so I tested my modifications on simple char* and with GDB using tc to get to tcf_proto_check_kind. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201115170806.3578-1-laniel_francis@privacyrequired.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- c0a645a7f94409043b5b1d577590bee9b2ce5333
