When building object-list.o, gcc 6 raises a warning on the sprintf call in fscache_objlist_show: CC fs/fscache/object-list.o fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function ‘fscache_objlist_show’: fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:19: warning: ‘sprintf’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Wformat-overflow=] sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type); ^~~~~~ fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:4: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 3 and 4 bytes into a destination of size 3 sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moreover, the documentation says that we should have an hex value for special cookies (see Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt). Printing hexadecimal value for special cookies fixes the overflow warning and complies with the documentation.
