Which puzzles me since there is a few drivers that use %lld. Yeah, changing it to ret = sscanf(attr->set_buf, attr->fmt, &val); if (ret != 1) ret = -EINVAL; probably can fix that. Dunno if debugfs maintainer is okay with this. P.S. This needs revisiting all format strings to see if there are no additional characters, otherwise that needs to be addressed first, if feasible. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
