This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled lib/cmdline: Fix an invalid format specifier in an assertion msg to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: lib-cmdline-fix-an-invalid-format-specifier-in-an-as.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4e61707b97a325cdc8eb2fdc27521c5dd29e6b24 Author: David Gow <davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 21 17:27:15 2024 +0800 lib/cmdline: Fix an invalid format specifier in an assertion msg [ Upstream commit d2733a026fc7247ba42d7a8e1b737cf14bf1df21 ] The correct format specifier for p - n (both p and n are pointers) is %td, as the type should be ptrdiff_t. This was discovered by annotating KUnit assertion macros with gcc's printf specifier, but note that gcc incorrectly suggested a %d or %ld specifier (depending on the pointer size of the architecture being built).
