ext4: replace deprecated strncpy with alternatives
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
in file.c:
s_last_mounted is marked as __nonstring meaning it does not need to be
NUL-terminated. Let's instead use strtomem_pad() to copy bytes from the
string source to the byte array destination -- while also ensuring to
pad with zeroes.
in ioctl.c:
We can drop the memset and size argument in favor of using the new
2-argument version of strscpy_pad() -- which was introduced with Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). This guarantees
NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer -- which seems
to be a requirement judging from this comment:
| static int ext4_ioctl_getlabel(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, char __user *user_label)
| {
| char label[EXT4_LABEL_MAX + 1];
|
| /*
| * EXT4_LABEL_MAX must always be smaller than FSLABEL_MAX because
| * FSLABEL_MAX must include terminating null byte, while s_volume_name
| * does not have to.
| */
in super.c:
s_first_error_func is marked as __nonstring meaning we can take the same
approach as in file.c; just use strtomem_pad()
