Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/29/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/25de561322e97439fbcd2aca7f792de7b4818d9d

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnx2x: replace strncpy with strlcpy

[ upstream commit 569c107fe72b7c76dc5a130ddab2e285bbb19cdb ]

Replace strncpy() with safer strlcpy() which always null-terminates.

Fixes: 540a211084a7 ("bnx2x: driver core")
