[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] clean up snprintf use for string copying

> There are quite a few instances remaining in DPDK where snprintf is being
> used for string copying. These were not being picked up by our existing
> coccinelle script, but that can be fixed by editing the script and running
> it against our code. In the process a bug was found and fixed in the
> bonding pmd, where we were incorrectly specifiying the buffer length
> parameter to snprintf.
> 
> The actual replacement was done in two phases - first replacing all
> instances where only the snprintf line in question needed changing, then
> fixing the other instances where we also needed to add in the header
> include. [Using two stages allowed the header addition to be automated too,
> since we had a list of files where every one needed the header inclusion]

> Bruce Richardson (5):
>   net/bonding: fix buffer length when printing strings
>   devtools/cocci: make strlcpy replacement smarter
>   devtools/cocci: create safer version of strlcpy script
>   replace snprintf with strlcpy without adding extra include
>   replace snprintf with strlcpy

Applied (with 2 rebase changes), thanks
