[PATCH] mm/dmapool: switch from strlcpy to strscpy

From: Zhiyuan Dai
Date: Sun Feb 21 2021 - 21:48:40 EST


strlcpy is marked as deprecated in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst,
and there is no functional difference when the caller expects truncation
(when not checking the return value). strscpy is relatively better as it
also avoids scanning the whole source string.
