Change declaration to 'char *'. A specifier involved with a macro is
causing a misleading warning to occur:
'''
In file included from msg_oob.c:14:
msg_oob.c: In function ‘__recvpair’:
../../kselftest_harness.h:106:40: warning: format ‘%s’ expects
argument of type ‘char *’, but argument 6 has type
‘const void *’ [-Wformat=]
106 | fprintf(TH_LOG_STREAM, "# %s:%d:%s:" fmt "\n", \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../kselftest_harness.h:101:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘__TH_LOG’
101 | __TH_LOG(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
| ^~~~~~~~
msg_oob.c:235:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘TH_LOG’
235 | TH_LOG("Expected:%s", expected_errno ?
strerror(expected_errno) : expected_buf);
| ^~~~~~
'''
I ran the tests using the following command:
'''
make kselftest TARGETS=net/af_unix
'''
I used a diff to examine the difference in output among the three
scenarios (1) before making the change, (2) after changing the
specifier, and (3) after changing the declaration. I saw no difference
in outputs among any of the tests; all three tests had the same exact
output.
For "net/af_unix: msg_oob", all 38 tests passed for msg_oob. I received
this result for all 3 scenarios. Should I have gotten a different
result?

Apologies for not looking ahead of time. I definitely need to remember
to check ahead of time. I understand that the other person was first; I
just wanted to get some practice sending patches. This is all still new
to me.
V1 --> V2
- Changed the declaration instead of the specifier.
- Put number of patches for this bug fix.
- Put in tests performed.
