The patch titled Subject: kthread: add __printf attributes has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kthread-add-__printf-attributes.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
