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 e6584c3964 ("string: Allow 2-argument
strscpy()").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
