strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with strncmp(): rpmsg_core.c: 389: if (strncmp(chinfo->name, rpdev->id.name, RPMSG_NAME_SIZE)) Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as chinfo has stack default initialized all fields to zero: rpmsg_core.c: 539: struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo = {}; Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Also, favor the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of: (dest, src, sizeof(dest)).

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 Restructured Text 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.
