gcc 8.1.0 complains: fs/f2fs/namei.c: In function 'f2fs_update_extension_list': fs/f2fs/namei.c:257:3: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length fs/f2fs/namei.c:249:3: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy() with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.
