[RFC PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Replace strncpy() with strscpy()

From: I Hsin Cheng
Date: Thu Mar 27 2025 - 10:13:27 EST


The name of vif which is "vif_name" should be NULL-terminated to be a
valid string, however "strncpy()" doesn't guarantee that. Replace it
with "strscpy()" to make sure the content within "vif_name" is
NULL-terminated.
