In capture_vma() Coverity complains of a possible buffer overrun. Even though this is a static function where all call sites can be checked, limiting the copy length could save some future grief.
CID 93300 (#1 of 1): Copy into fixed size buffer (STRING_OVERFLOW) 4. fixed_size_dest: You might overrun the 16-character fixed-size string c->name by copying name without checking the length. 5. parameter_as_source: Note: This defect has an elevated risk because the source argument is a parameter of the current function. 1326 strcpy(c->name, name); Fix any possible overflows by using strscpy() which guarantees NULL termination. Also correct 2 other strcpy() call sites with the same potential for Coverity warnings or overruns. v2 - Change $SUBJECT from "drm/i915: zero fill vma name buffer" Use strscpy() instead of strncpy(). Its a much simpler change.
