This morning, the kisskb build service informed me about several build
failures on m68k (e.g. [1]).

In fact, the kernel test robot had already detected them on multiple 32-bit
platforms 4 days ago:
  - Subject: [bcachefs:bcachefs-testing 21/23] fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c:542:7:
    warning: format specifies type 'size_t' (aka 'unsigned int') but the
    argument has type 'unsigned long'[2]
  - Subject: [bcachefs:bcachefs-testing 21/23] fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c:541:33:
    warning: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument
    3 has type 'long unsigned int'[3]

These are caused by commit 1d34085cde461893 ("bcachefs:
Plumb bkey into __btree_err()"), which is nowhere to be found on
any public mailing list archived by lore.

+               prt_printf(out, " bset byte offset %zu",
+                          (unsigned long)(void *)k -
+                          ((unsigned long)(void *)i & ~511UL));

Please stop committing private unreviewed patches to linux-next,
as I have asked before [4].
Thank you!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
