The patch titled Subject: fs_parse: remove pr_notice() about each validation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs_parse-remove-pr_notice-about-each-validation.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs_parse: remove pr_notice() about each validation This notice fills my boot logs with scary-looking asterisks but doesn't really tell me anything. Let's just remove it; validation errors are already reported separately, so this is just a redundant list of filesystems. $ dmesg | grep VALIDATE [ 0.306256] *** VALIDATE tmpfs *** [ 0.307422] *** VALIDATE proc *** [ 0.308355] *** VALIDATE cgroup *** [ 0.308741] *** VALIDATE cgroup2 *** [ 0.813256] *** VALIDATE bpf *** [ 0.815272] *** VALIDATE ramfs *** [ 0.815665] *** VALIDATE hugetlbfs *** [ 0.876970] *** VALIDATE nfs *** [ 0.877383] *** VALIDATE nfs4 *** Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/202003061617.A8835CAAF@keescook Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Seth Arnold <seth.arnold@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fs_parser.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) --- a/fs/fs_parser.c~fs_parse-remove-pr_notice-about-each-validation +++ a/fs/fs_parser.c @@ -368,8 +368,6 @@ bool fs_validate_description(const char const struct fs_parameter_spec *param, *p2; bool good = true; - pr_notice("*** VALIDATE %s ***\n", name); - for (param = desc; param->name; param++) { /* Check for duplicate parameter names */ for (p2 = desc; p2 < param; p2++) { _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx are shmem-distribute-switch-variables-for-initialization.patch lib-test_stackinitc-xfail-switch-variable-init-tests.patch ubsan-add-trap-instrumentation-option.patch ubsan-split-bounds-checker-from-other-options.patch lkdtm-bugs-add-arithmetic-overflow-and-array-bounds-checks.patch ubsan-check-panic_on_warn.patch kasan-unset-panic_on_warn-before-calling-panic.patch ubsan-include-bug-type-in-report-header.patch
