From: Roel Kluin strlcpy() will always null terminate the string. The code should already guarantee this as the last bytes are already NULs and the string lengths were restricted before being stored in hc. Removing the '-1' becomes necessary so strlcpy() doesn't lose the last character of a maximum-length string. - agk Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon --- drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6.32-rc3/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.32-rc3.orig/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c +++ linux-2.6.32-rc3/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c @@ -634,9 +634,9 @@ static struct mapped_device *find_device * Sneakily write in both the name and the uuid * while we have the cell. */ - strncpy(param->name, hc->name, sizeof(param->name)); + strlcpy(param->name, hc->name, sizeof(param->name)); if (hc->uuid) - strncpy(param->uuid, hc->uuid, sizeof(param->uuid)-1); + strlcpy(param->uuid, hc->uuid, sizeof(param->uuid)); else param->uuid[0] = '\0';
