[PATCH] orangefs: cleanup uses of strncpy

From: Justin Stitt
Date: Fri Mar 22 2024 - 17:41:29 EST


strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

There is some care taken to ensure these destination buffers are
NUL-terminated by bounding the strncpy()'s by ORANGEFS_NAME_MAX - 1 or
ORANGEFS_MAX_SERVER_ADDR_LEN - 1. Instead, we can use the new 2-argument
version of strscpy() to guarantee NUL-termination on the destination
buffers while simplifying the code.

Based on usage with printf-likes, we can see these buffers are expected
to be NUL-terminated:
| gossip_debug(GOSSIP_NAME_DEBUG,
| "%s: doing lookup on %s under %pU,%d\n",
| __func__,
| new_op->upcall.req.lookup.d_name,
| &new_op->upcall.req.lookup.parent_refn.khandle,
| new_op->upcall.req.lookup.parent_refn.fs_id);
..
| gossip_debug(GOSSIP_SUPER_DEBUG,
| "Attempting ORANGEFS Remount via host %s\n",
| new_op->upcall.req.fs_mount.orangefs_config_server);

NUL-padding isn't required for any of these destination buffers as
they've all been zero-allocated with op_alloc() or kzalloc().
