Its filename is kthread-add-__printf-attributes.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kthread-add-__printf-attributes.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kthread-add-__printf-attributes.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx> Subject: kthread: add __printf attributes When commit fbae2d44aa1d ("kthread: add kthread_create_worker*()") introduced some kthread_create_...() functions which were taking printf-like parametter, it introduced __printf attributes to some functions (e.g. kthread_create_worker()). Nevertheless some new functions were forgotten (they have been detected thanks to -Wmissing-format-attribute warning flag). Add the missing __printf attributes to the newly-introduced functions in order to detect formatting issues at build-time with -Wformat flag.
