Subject: [PATCH] PM: hibernate: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 20:50:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429-strncpy-kernel-power-hibernate-c-v1-1-8688f492d3e6@google.com> (raw)
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
This kernel config option is simply assigned with the resume_file
buffer. It should be NUL-terminated but not necessarily NUL-padded as
per its further usage with other string apis:
| static int __init find_resume_device(void)
| {
| if (!strlen(resume_file))
| return -ENOENT;
|
| pm_pr_dbg("Checking hibernation image partition %s\n", resume_file);
Use strscpy [2] as it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination
buffer. Specifically, use the new 2-argument version of strscpy()
introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument
strscpy()").
