Cool. A quick check shows me 1031 strscpy() calls with no return checks. All or some of these probably need to be reviewed and add return checks. Is this something that is in the plan to address as part of this work?

Hi,
Initially, what we planned with Kees is to firstly replace all calls with error handling codes (like this series does), and then replace all other simple calls (without error handling). However, we can also start a discussion about this topic, all suggestions are welcome.
I am not sure that it does make sense to check all returns code in all cases (for example in arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c, there are a ton of other examples in the kernel). But a general review (as you suggest), would make sense.
