[PATCH net 1/3] net: stmmac: replace memcpy with strscpy in ethtool
Posted by Konrad Leszczynski 5 months, 2 weeks ago 
Fix kernel exception by replacing memcpy with strscpy when used with
safety feature strings in ethtool logic.

If you hit this with upstream code please mention which string 
is not padded. If this can't happen with upstream platforms --
there is no upstream bug. BTW ethtool_puts() is a better choice.

Hi Jakub,
Sorry for late answer to your review.
I double checked and made sure this bug reproduces on upstream platform.
Bug seems to appear on first string - i will add this information to 
commit message.
Also thanks for code change suggestion, indeed, it looks much better.

Best Regards,
Sebastian

By first string, do you mean "Application Transmit Interface Parity
Check Error"?

I think it also would be better to change dwmac5_error_desc, so that
it uses char stat_string[ETH_GSTRING_LEN] __nonstring; like
stmmac_stats.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your comments. We can add the change as a new patch as part 
of this patchset. Would that be ok?
