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 chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format
strings and sprintf:
rpmsg/rpmsg_char.c
165: dev_err(dev, "failed to open %s\n", eptdev->chinfo.name);
368: return sprintf(buf, "%s\n", eptdev->chinfo.name);
... and with strcmp():
| static struct rpmsg_endpoint *qcom_glink_create_ept(struct rpmsg_device *rpdev,
| rpmsg_rx_cb_t cb,
| void *priv,
| struct rpmsg_channel_info
| chinfo)
| ...
| const char *name = chinfo.name;
| ...
| if (!strcmp(channel->name, name))
Since chinfo is initialized as such (just above the strscpy()):
| struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo = {
| .src = rpwwan->rpdev->src,
| .dst = RPMSG_ADDR_ANY,
| };
... we know other members are zero-initialized. This means no
NUL-padding is required (as any NUL-byte assignments are redundant).
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` due to the
fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
