Subject: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: add warning on invalid %p extensions
From: William Roberts <william.c.roberts@...el.com>
The kernel supports %p extensions as documented in
Documentation/printk-formats.txt. Warn on possibly
improper use of non-extension characters.
One issue would be the usage of %pk when %pK should have
been used. This has a side-effect of appearing to work
alright, but does not respect the kptr_restrict setting
as %pK does.
Sample output:
WARNING: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pk'
+ printk(KERN_INFO "Could not allocate IRQ %d for PCI Applicom device. %pk\n", dev->irq, pci_get_class); // NOT OK
WARNING: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pn'
+ sprintf(buf, "%pn", x); // NOT OK
