From a518b86d0b1b6a474f154697dc6f33e0a317ae72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roel Kluin Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:52:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dm ioctl: prefer strlcpy over strncpy strlcpy() will always null terminate the string. The code should already guarantee this as the last bytes are already NULs and the string lengths were restricted before being stored in hc. Removing the '-1' becomes necessary so strlcpy() doesn't lose the last character of a maximum-length string. - agk Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon --- drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c b/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c index d19854c98184..99de0e4ce831 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c @@ -645,9 +645,9 @@ static struct mapped_device *find_device(struct dm_ioctl *param) * Sneakily write in both the name and the uuid * while we have the cell. */ - strncpy(param->name, hc->name, sizeof(param->name)); + strlcpy(param->name, hc->name, sizeof(param->name)); if (hc->uuid) - strncpy(param->uuid, hc->uuid, sizeof(param->uuid)-1); + strlcpy(param->uuid, hc->uuid, sizeof(param->uuid)); else param->uuid[0] = '\0';
