Event Timeline

While using strlnlen() here will guard against the insane notion that progname could be longer than PATH_MAX, it won't prevent fprintf from outputting an insane number of characters for progname should it be an unbounded string.

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_virtio_net.c
891 ↗(On Diff #53370)

there's no way that nstr won't be terminated in the first 80 characters because the snprintf 3 lines above guarantees it. so strnlen() is kinda useless here.

Revert strnlen to strlen on pci_virtio_net as snprintf does the job already.

@imp do you have any suggestion for the fprintf case?

It is basically a cosmetic change, so I have committed it already: r343634.

@araujo the format string "%.*s" can be used to bound the length of string printed. Similar to the "%*s" padding entries that follow, two arguments are passed to printf for this format: int length, and (const) char * string. Only the first length bytes are formatted.

That said, I don't think strnlen() is useful here, so the simpler thing to do is just leave it alone.
