wifi: airo: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
`extra` is clearly supposed to be NUL-terminated which is evident by the
manual NUL-byte assignment as well as its immediate usage with strlen().
Moreover, let's NUL-pad since there is deliberate effort (48 instances)
made elsewhere to zero-out buffers in these getters and setters:
6050 | memset(local->config.nodeName, 0, sizeof(local->config.nodeName));
6130 | memset(local->config.rates, 0, 8);
6139 | memset(local->config.rates, 0, 8);
6414 | memset(key.key, 0, MAX_KEY_SIZE);
6497 | memset(extra, 0, 16);
(to be clear, strncpy also NUL-padded -- we are matching that behavior)
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to
the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the
destination buffer.
We can also replace the hard-coded size of "16" to IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE
because this function is a wext handler.
In wext-core.c we have:
static const struct iw_ioctl_description standard_ioctl[] = {
...
[IW_IOCTL_IDX(SIOCGIWNICKN)] = {
.header_type = IW_HEADER_TYPE_POINT,
.token_size = 1,
.max_tokens = IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE,
},
So the buffer size is (strangely) IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE
