[PATCH] usb: gadget: function: printer: Replace strlcpy with strscpy
Posted by Azeem Shaikh 2 years, 8 months ago 
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -E2BIG
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

Perhaps say "PAGE_SIZE" here instead of sizeof(dest)?

I think "< 1" might be a better test here.

Curious, why "< 1" instead of "< 0"?

It's for this case above where "result" may be used in an array index,
and if it's 0 or less, there will be a negative array index (due to the "-
1"). So, here, it needs to be "< 1" instead of the more traditional "< 0".

Makes sense. Sent out a v2.
