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 hba->chip_num to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format strings: snprintf(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 256, "%s (QLogic %s) v%s over %s", BNX2FC_NAME, hba->chip_num, BNX2FC_VERSION, interface->netdev->name); Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as hba is zero-allocated from its callsite: hba = kzalloc(sizeof(*hba), GFP_KERNEL); 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. Regarding stats_addr->version, I've opted to also use strscpy() instead of strscpy_pad() as I typically see these XYZ_get_strings() pass zero-allocated data. I couldn't track all of where bnx2fc_ulp_get_stats() is used and if required, we could opt for strscpy_pad().

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.
