[PATCH] KVM: selftests: Assert that vasprintf() is successful

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 21:06:43 EST


Assert that vasprintf() succeeds as the "returned" string is undefined
on failure. Checking the result also eliminates the only warning with
default options in KVM selftests, i.e. is the only thing getting in the
way of compile with -Werror.

lib/test_util.c: In function ‘strdup_printf’:
lib/test_util.c:390:9: error: ignoring return value of ‘vasprintf’
declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Werror=unused-result]
390 | vasprintf(&str, fmt, ap);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't bother capturing the return value, allegedly vasprintf() can only
fail due to a memory allocation failure.

I haven't actually run the relevant tests, someone should probably do so on
ARM and/or RISC-V to make sure I didn't do something stupid.
