[PATCH v1 1/1] seq_file: Replace strncpy()+nul by strscpy()

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon Jul 17 2023 - 05:34:01 EST


Privided seq_show_option_n() macro breaks build with -Werror
and W=1, e.g.:

In function ‘strncpy’,
inlined from ‘ocfs2_show_options’ at fs/ocfs2/super.c:1520:3:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:68:33: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 4 bytes from a string of length 4 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
68 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy
| ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:151:16: note: in expansion of macro ‘__underlying_strncpy’
151 | return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

While -Werror wasn't enabled by default at the time of the original code
landed into mainline, strscpy() was already there and preferred over strncpy().
Due to above mentioned issues, use the latter in seq_show_option_n().
