ksmbd: Replace strcpy + strcat to improve convert_to_nt_pathname

2025-12-01T03:11:45+00:00

strcpy() is deprecated [1] and using strcat() is discouraged. Replace them by assigning the prefix directly and by using memcpy() to copy the pathname. Using memcpy() is safe because we already know the length of the source string and that it is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated. Allocate only as many bytes as needed and replace kzalloc() with kmalloc() since memcpy() overwrites the entire buffer anyway.

ksmbd: use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL

2024-11-26T00:58:02+00:00

Prefer to report ENOMEM rather than incur the oom for allocations in ksmbd. __GFP_NORETRY could not achieve that, It would fail the allocations just too easily. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL will keep retrying the allocation until there is no more progress and fail the allocation instead go OOM and let the caller to deal with it.

ksmbd: Add kernel-doc for ksmbd_extract_sharename() function

The ksmbd_extract_sharename() function lacked a complete kernel-doc comment. This patch adds parameter descriptions and detailed function behavior to improve code readability and maintainability. Signed-off-by: Yang Li Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French
