[PATCH v2 2/2] vsprintf: remove redundant and unused %pCn format specifier

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



%pC and %pCn print the same string, and commit 900cca294425 ("lib/vsprintf:
add %pC{,n,r} format specifiers for clocks") introducing them does not
clarify any intended difference. It can be assumed %pC is a default for
%pCn as some other specifiers do, but not all are consistent with this
policy. Moreover there is now no other suffix other than 'n', which makes a
default not really useful.

All users in the kernel were using %pC except for one which has been
converted. So now remove %pCn and all the unnecessary extra code and
documentation.
