[PATCH] nfc: s3fwrn5: Prefer strscpy() over strcpy()
Posted by Abdul Rahim 1 year, 3 months ago
strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors [1]

this fixes checkpatch warning:
	WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strcpy

You should explain why it is safe to omit the destination buffer size.

You cut entire email, no clue what's this.

Do I need to resend this patch [1]. You gave it `Reviewed-by` tag. But
it's not applied yet.

First, it is merge window, no point to ping during that time. It is
actually highly discouraged, unless this is a fix. And it is not a fix.

Second, this should have net-next PATCH prefix, see subsystem profile
for networking.

I asked to change things in commit msg, so I expect next version, not
resend.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
