strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect wl->chip.fw_ver_str to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with DRIVER_STATE_PRINT_STR() in debugfs.c: 491 | DRIVER_STATE_PRINT_STR(chip.fw_ver_str); ... which uses DRIVER_STATE_PRINT(): 444 | #define DRIVER_STATE_PRINT_STR(x) DRIVER_STATE_PRINT(x, "%s") ... which relies on scnprintf: 434 | #define DRIVER_STATE_PRINT(x, fmt) \ 435 | (res += scnprintf(buf + res, DRIVER_STATE_BUF_LEN - res,\ 436 | #x " = " fmt "\n", wl->x)) Moreover, NUL-padding is not required. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.

README
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.
