Merge branch 'fix-inefficiences-and-rename-nla_strlcpy'
Francis Laniel says: ==================== Fix inefficiences and rename nla_strlcpy This patch set answers to first three issues listed in: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/110 To sum up, the patch contributions are the following: 1. the first patch fixes an inefficiency where some bytes in dst were written twice, one with 0 the other with src content. 2. The second one modifies nla_strlcpy to return the same value as strscpy, i.e. number of bytes written or -E2BIG if src was truncated. It also modifies code that calls nla_strlcpy and checks for its return value. 3. The third renames nla_strlcpy to nla_strscpy. Unfortunately, I did not find how to create struct nlattr objects so I tested my modifications on simple char* and with GDB using tc to get to tcf_proto_check_kind. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201115170806.3578-1-laniel_francis@privacyrequired.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
