Subject: [PATCH linux-next] net: ethernet: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy() 

From: Xu Panda <[email protected]>

The implementation of strscpy() is more robust and safer.
That's now the recommended way to copy NUL terminated strings.

This change looks good to me, but I think the subject should be:

[PATCH net-next] myri10ge: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()

That not withstanding,
