`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Other implementations of .*get_drvinfo also use strscpy so this patch brings fm10k_get_drvinfo in line as well: igb/igb_ethtool.c +851 static void igb_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, igbvf/ethtool.c 167:static void igbvf_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, i40e/i40e_ethtool.c 1999:static void i40e_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, e1000/e1000_ethtool.c 529:static void e1000_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, ixgbevf/ethtool.c 211:static void ixgbevf_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/linux-manual-4.8/strscpy.9.en.html [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Cc: linux-harden...@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinst...@google.com> --- Note: build-tested only. --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_ethtool.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_ethtool.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_ethtool.c index d53369e30040..13a05604dcc0 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_ethtool.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_ethtool.c @@ -448,10 +448,10 @@ static void fm10k_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *dev, { struct fm10k_intfc *interface = netdev_priv(dev); - strncpy(info->driver, fm10k_driver_name, - sizeof(info->driver) - 1); - strncpy(info->bus_info, pci_name(interface->pdev), - sizeof(info->bus_info) - 1); + strscpy(info->driver, fm10k_driver_name, + sizeof(info->driver)); + strscpy(info->bus_info, pci_name(interface->pdev), + sizeof(info->bus_info)); } static void fm10k_get_pauseparam(struct net_device *dev, --- base-commit: cbf3a2cb156a2c911d8f38d8247814b4c07f49a2 change-id: 20231010-strncpy-drivers-net-ethernet-intel-fm10k-fm10k_ethtool-c-8184ea77861f Best regards, -- Justin Stitt <justinst...@google.com> _______________________________________________ Intel-wired-lan mailing list Intel-wired-lan@osuosl.org https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-wired-lan
