[PATCH v2] crypto: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

From: Azeem Shaikh
Date: Tue Jun 20 2023 - 16:08:50 EST


strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

v2:
* Use "int len" instead of "unsigned len" to hold return value of strscpy.

v1:
