[PATCH] gfs2: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy
Posted by Wolfram Sang 3 years, 7 months ago 
Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

Perhaps the size should be changed to GFS2_LOCKNAME_LEN to match the 
size of the destination, too.

With that addition, this patch fixes this syzkaller report:

Linus wrote another summary about strlcpy vs. strscpy use[1]. So, the
size argument should be the size of the smaller buffer if the buffers
are of different size. GFS2_LOCKNAME_LEN is smaller, so that looks
suitable. Shall I resend the patch with the suggested change?

All the best,

Yes, please. I can't speak for the gfs2 maintainers but I think it would 
be a good plan, as the combination of strscpy and the size change fixes 
a bug.

thanks, I've fixed this in for-next now:
