Hi, all,

This is the result of testing randconfig with KCONFIG_SEED=0xEE7AB52F in next-20240703 vanilla tree on
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. GCC used is GCC (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 12.3.0.

The particular error is as follows:

In file included from ./include/asm-generic/bug.h:22,
                 from ./arch/x86/include/asm/bug.h:87,

Proposed non-intrusive fix resolves the warning/error, but I could not test the code.
(I don't have the physical device.)

Some more descriptive subject would be nice :)

Actually it goes back to 2015 to the commit 8e2c992b59fc ("mtd: mtdpart: add debug prints to partition parser.").

I'd say it's simple enough to send patch without actual hw testing.

Though the kernel's vsprintf will already handle NULL pointers and
print "(null)" [1], so I'm not sure if this is an actual improvement.

The only way this can be NULL though is if the request_module()
failed, so maybe a proper error message would be better here instead
of an obscure "got parser (null)". You don't even know which type
wasn't available. E.g. pr_debug("%: no parser for type %s
available\n", master->name, *types).

This is also correct.

Actually, it isn't simple enough to prevent a typo.

Here is the v2.

Do I have your Reviewed-by: or Acked-by: ?

Andy from Intel said that it has to be given explicitly.

Agreed. Your proposal is much more descriptive.

Will you do this patch or should I and put a Suggested-by: ?

However, I would sleep much better if this is tested on actual hw. :-/

This will both eliminate warning and be more descriptive.

I agree that vsprintf() will print "(null)" for NULL ptr, but GCC 12.3.0 doesn't tolerate such
application and we cannot build w -Werror ...

How does this look to you?
