nla_strlcpy now returns -E2BIG if src was truncated when written to dst. It also returns this error value if dstsize is 0 or higher than INT_MAX. For example, if src is "foo\0" and dst is 3 bytes long, the result will be: 1. "foG" after memcpy (G means garbage). 2. "fo\0" after memset. 3. -E2BIG is returned because src was not completely written into dst. The callers of nla_strlcpy were modified to take into account this modification.

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.
