staging: vme_user: replace strcpy with strscpy Checkpatch suggests using strscpy() instead of strcpy(). The advantages of strscpy() are that it always adds a NUL terminator and prevents read/write overflows if the source string is not properly terminated. strcpy() lacks built-in bounds checking for the destination buffer, making it susceptible to buffer overflows. These overflows can lead to various unpredictable behaviors. In this specific context, both strscpy and strcpy performs the same operation without any functional difference. The reason for this equivalence is that the driver_name string "vme_fake" is shorter than the size of the fake_bridge->name array which is defined as 16 characters (struct vme_bridge {char name[VMENAMSIZ];...}). Thus, there is no risk of buffer overflow in either case. VMENAMSIZ variable holds a constant value of 16 (#define VMENAMSIZ 16) The null-terminated "vme_fake" string (static const char driver_name[] = "vme_fake";) can be safely copied into fake_bridge->name using either strscpy or strcpy. While using strscpy() does not address any bugs, it is considered a better practice and aligns with checkpatch recommendations.

vme: move back to staging The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in 2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging") stating: The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully. However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups. No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only remaining board. drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original hierarchy.
