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.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
