Re: [PATCH] scsi: mpt2sas: mpt2sas_base.c: Cleaning up missing null-terminate after strncpy call

[Rickard Strandqvist]

Hi

A little embarrassing, but I actually did not know that there was a
better replacement for strncpy.

Sorry, but I will send a new platch based on strlcpy instead then.

Will investigate cover letter then to.


Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
