Linux kernel source tree

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces. Also replace an instance of strcpy() which is also
deprecated.
s_volume_ident is a NUL-terminated string which is evident from its
usage in udf_debug:
| udf_debug("volIdent[] = '%s'\n", UDF_SB(sb)->s_volume_ident);
s_volume_ident should also be NUL-padded as it is copied out to
userspace:
| if (copy_to_user((char __user *)arg,
| UDF_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_volume_ident, 32))
| return -EFAULT;
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` [2] due
to the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on
the destination buffer.
To simplify the code, let's use the new 2-argument version of
strscpy_pad() introduced in Commit

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 reStructuredText 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.
