[PATCH 2/2] mm, cma: use literal printf format string

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Feb 24 2025 - 09:23:35 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Using a variable string as a printf format can be a security issue
that clang warns about when extra warnings are enabled:

mm/cma.c:239:37: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
239 | snprintf(cma->name, CMA_MAX_NAME, name);
| ^~~~

This one does not appear to be a security issue since the string is
not user controlled, but it's better to avoid the warning.
Use "%s" as the format instead and just pass the name as the argument.
