It turns out that that commit is buggy for another reason, but it's
hidden by the fact that apparently KUNIT_ASSERT_FALSE_MSG() doesn't
check the format string.
The fix for that is this:
--- a/include/kunit/test.h
+++ b/include/kunit/test.h
@@ -579,7 +579,7 @@ void __printf(2, 3) kunit_log_append(struct

const struct kunit_loc *loc,
enum kunit_assert_type type,
const struct kunit_assert *assert,
but that causes a *lot* of noise (not just in drm_buddy_test.c), so
I'm not going to apply that fix as-is. Clearly there's a lot of
incorrect format parameters that have never been checked.
Instead adding Shuah and the KUnit people to the participants, and
hoping that they will fix this up and we can get the format fixes for
KUnit in the 6.9 timeframe.
We will take care of this for 6.9
Side note: when I apply the above patch, the suggestions gcc spews out
look invalid. Gcc seems to suggest turning a a format string of '%d"
to "%ld" for a size_t variable. That's wrong. It should be "%zu".
A 'size_t' can in fact be 'unsigned int' on some platforms (not just
in theory), so %ld is really incorrect not just from a sign
perspective.
Anyway, I guess I will commit the immediate drm_buddy_test.c fix to
get rid of the build issue, but the KUnit message format string issue
will have to be a "let's get this fixed up _later_" issue.

Thank you.
