Linux kernel source tree
e8a3c8bd68
The ifname char pointer is taken directly from the command line
as input and the string is copied directly into struct ifreq
via strcpy. This makes it easy to corrupt other members of ifreq
and generally do stack overflows.
Most often the ioctl will fail with:
./xdp_hw_metadata: ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL): Bad address
As people will likely copy-paste code for getting NIC queue
channels (rxq_num) and enabling HW timestamping (hwtstamp_ioctl)
lets make this code a bit more secure by using strncpy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
