strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use strscpy_pad() instead to retain the NUL-padding behavior of strncpy(). The destination buffer is initialized using kzalloc() with a 'signature' size of ECRYPTFS_PASSWORD_SIG_SIZE + 1. strncpy() then copies up to ECRYPTFS_PASSWORD_SIG_SIZE bytes from 'key_desc', NUL-padding any remaining bytes if needed, but expects the last byte to be zero. strscpy_pad() also copies the source string to 'signature', and NUL-pads the destination buffer if needed, but ensures it's always NUL-terminated without relying on it being zero-initialized. strscpy_pad() automatically determines the size of the fixed-length destination buffer via sizeof() when the optional size argument is omitted, making an explicit size unnecessary. In encrypted_init(), the source string 'key_desc' is validated by valid_ecryptfs_desc() before calling ecryptfs_fill_auth_tok(), and is therefore NUL-terminated and satisfies the __must_be_cstr() requirement of strscpy_pad().

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 reStructuredText 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.
