[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv2 13/22] virtio-9p: avoid unwarranted uses of strncpy

[Jim Meyering]

From: Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

In all of these cases, the uses of strncpy were unnecessary, since
at each point of use we know that the NUL-terminated source bytes
fit in the destination buffer.  Use memcpy in place of strncpy.
