Too much copy-paste

Reading the description it sounds like (here and down) dest should use ARRAY_SIZE (nitems)?

So you suggest:

size_t dstlen = ARRAY_SIZE(dst);
``` instead, is that correct?

I’m not sure i get the difference. Is it semantically more correct?

In this case, should `ARRAY_SIZE()` be used for `srclen` too?

Only for dstlen as dst that is supposed to be a Pointer of destination character array (marked as __nonstring) according to the documentation. Making in ARRAY_SIZE I hope will catch other possible kinds of buffers--while Linux should catch that already for drivers I would hope, in case we use this internally in LinuxKPI it's just to be saver.

Use ARRAY_SIZE() as suggested by @bz.
