`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should favor a more robust and less ambiguous interface.
We expect that both `nullb->disk_name` and `disk->disk_name` be
NUL-terminated:
| snprintf(nullb->disk_name, sizeof(nullb->disk_name),
| "%s", config_item_name(&dev->group.cg_item));
...
| pr_info("disk %s created\n", nullb->disk_name);
It seems like NUL-padding may be required due to __assign_disk_name()
utilizing a memcpy as opposed to a `str*cpy` api.
| static inline void __assign_disk_name(char *name, struct gendisk *disk)
| {
| if (disk)
| memcpy(name, disk->disk_name, DISK_NAME_LEN);
| else
| memset(name, 0, DISK_NAME_LEN);
| }
Then we go and print it with `__print_disk_name` which wraps `nullb_trace_disk_name()`.
| #define __print_disk_name(name) nullb_trace_disk_name(p, name)
This function obviously expects a NUL-terminated string.
| const char *nullb_trace_disk_name(struct trace_seq *p, char *name)
| {
| const char *ret = trace_seq_buffer_ptr(p);
|
| if (name && *name)
| trace_seq_printf(p, "disk=%s, ", name);
| trace_seq_putc(p, 0);
|
| return ret;
| }
>From the above, we need both 1) a NUL-terminated string and 2) a
NUL-padded string. So, let's use strscpy_pad() as per Kees' suggestion
from v1.

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 Restructured Text 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.
