The patch titled Subject: coredump: add __printf attribute to cn_*printf functions has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was coredump-add-__printf-attribute-to-cn_printf-functions.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx> Subject: coredump: add __printf attribute to cn_*printf functions This allows detecting improper format string at build time, like: fs/coredump.c:225:5: warning: format '%ld' expects argument of type 'long int', but argument 3 has type 'int' [-Wformat=] err = cn_printf(cn, "%ld", cprm->siginfo->si_signo); ^ As si_signo is always an int, the format should be %d here.
