strlcpy in ocfs2_initialize_super() is introduced 8 years ago, so I
don't understand why you've mentioned that the issues starts from
v5.11.

osb->osb_cluster_stack and osb->osb_cluster_name is always larger by
1 than which in ocfs2_cluster_info, and the input size of strlcpy does
the same, so I don't see how it overflows.

Thanks,
Joseph
