strncpy() is deprecated [1] and as such we should use different apis to
copy string data.
We can see that ct is NUL-initialized with fc_ct_hdr_fill:
| ct = fc_ct_hdr_fill(fp, op, sizeof(struct fc_ns_rspn) + len,
...
In fc_ct_hdr_fill():
| memset(ct, 0, ct_plen);
We also calculate the length of the source string:
| len = strnlen(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 255);
...then this argument is used in strncpy(), which is bad because the
pattern of (dest, src, strlen(src)) usually leaves the destination
buffer without NUL-termination. However, it looks as though we do not
require NUL-termination since fr_name is part of a seq_buf-like
structure wherein its length is monitored:
| struct fc_ns_rspn {
| struct fc_ns_fid fr_fid; /* port ID object */
| __u8 fr_name_len;
| char fr_name[];
| } __attribute__((__packed__));
So, this is really just a byte copy into a length-bounded buffer. Let's use
memcpy().

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.
