__printf is useful to verify format and arguments. ‘bpf_verifier_vlog’ function is used twice in verifier.c in both cases the caller function already uses the __printf gcc attribute.
Remove the following warning, triggered with W=1: kernel/bpf/verifier.c:176:2: warning: function might be possible candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format] Signed-off-by: Mathieu Malaterre <ma...@debian.org> --- include/linux/bpf_verifier.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/bpf_verifier.h b/include/linux/bpf_verifier.h index 7e61c395fddf..ebf78f8ddfa1 100644 --- a/include/linux/bpf_verifier.h +++ b/include/linux/bpf_verifier.h @@ -197,8 +197,8 @@ struct bpf_verifier_env { u32 subprog_cnt; }; -void bpf_verifier_vlog(struct bpf_verifier_log *log, const char *fmt, - va_list args); +__printf(2, 0) void bpf_verifier_vlog(struct bpf_verifier_log *log, + const char *fmt, va_list args); __printf(2, 3) void bpf_verifier_log_write(struct bpf_verifier_env *env, const char *fmt, ...); -- 2.11.0
