Bjorn, Can you fix this up when applying. > > You describe what the code does, but not why you need this. %pK is used > for only about 1% of pointer printing, why do you want to leak this > address to userspace at all?

The reason is clearly mentioned in the last sentence in the patch description. regards Suman > > Andrew > > >> Signed-off-by: Suman Anna <[email protected]> >> --- >> drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c | 2 +- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c >> b/drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c >> index f29dee731026..1345f373a1a0 100644 >> --- a/drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c >> +++ b/drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c >> @@ -950,7 +950,7 @@ static int rpmsg_probe(struct virtio_device *vdev) >> goto vqs_del; >> } >> >> - dev_dbg(&vdev->dev, "buffers: va %p, dma %pad\n", >> + dev_dbg(&vdev->dev, "buffers: va %pK, dma %pad\n", >> bufs_va, &vrp->bufs_dma); >> >> /* half of the buffers is dedicated for RX */ >>
