From a16724289af0da1f922e41fd09f229f0beec10f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Stitt Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2023 21:55:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] liquidio: 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. NUL-padding is not required as rep_cfg is memset to 0: | memset(&rep_cfg, 0, sizeof(rep_cfg)); A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
