[PATCH] workqueue: fix -Wformat-truncation in create_worker

From: Lucy Mielke
Date: Mon Oct 09 2023 - 13:19:30 EST


Compiling with W=1 emitted the following warning
(Compiler: gcc (x86-64, ver. 13.2.1, .config: result of make allyesconfig,
"Treat warnings as errors" turned off):

kernel/workqueue.c:2188:54: warning: ‘%d’ directive output may be
truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size
between 5 and 14 [-Wformat-truncation=]
kernel/workqueue.c:2188:50: note: directive argument in the range
[0, 2147483647]
kernel/workqueue.c:2188:17: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 4 and 23 bytes
into a destination of size 16

setting "id_buf" to size 23 will silence the warning, since GCC
determines snprintf's output to be max. 23 bytes in line 2188.

Please let me know if there are any mistakes in my patch!
