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 chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with strncmp(): rpmsg_core.c: 389: if (strncmp(chinfo->name, rpdev->id.name, RPMSG_NAME_SIZE)) Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as chinfo has stack default initialized all fields to zero: rpmsg_core.c: 539: struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo = {}; 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. Also, favor the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of: (dest, src, sizeof(dest)).
