+Subject: Staging: lustre: remove two build warnings
+To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
+Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

+
+[for older kernels only, lustre has been removed from upstream]
+
+When someone writes:
+ strncpy(dest, source, sizeof(source));
+they really are just doing the same thing as:
+ strcpy(dest, source);
+but somehow they feel better because they are now using the "safe"
+version of the string functions. Cargo-cult programming at its
+finest...
+
+gcc-8 rightfully warns you about doing foolish things like this. Now
+that the stable kernels are all starting to be built using gcc-8, let's
+get rid of this warning so that we do not have to gaze at this horror.
+
+To dropt the warning, just convert the code to using strcpy() so that if
+someone really wants to audit this code and find all of the obvious
+problems, it will be easier to do so.
