[PATCH v5 0/2] Fix compiler warnings/errors in SUNRPC and MACB
From: Sean Chang
Date: Sat Feb 28 2026 - 16:29:12 EST
This series addresses compiler warnings and a build error identified across
different architectures and configurations.
The first patch refactors the dfprintk macros in the SUNRPC subsystem. This
global fix silences unused variable warnings and, by incorporating
no_printk(), ensures continued compiler type checking. It also includes
a specific fix for a build error in nfsd (nfsfh.c) uncovered by syzbot
in non-debug configurations.
The second patch fixes a format-truncation warning in the MACB ethernet
driver by ensuring the snprintf output fits within the destination buffer.
v5:
- Simplify dfprintk and dfprintk_rcu macros by removing the redundant 'fmt'
argument and calling no_printk(__VA_ARGS__) directly, as suggested by
David Laight.
- Fix a build error in fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c reported by syzbot. The error was
caused by a mismatch between the variable's lifecycle (defined via
RPC_IFDEBUG) and its usage in dprintk.
- Add Link tag to the syzbot build failure report.
- Update series title to reflect the general nature of the fixes.
v4:
- Refactor patch 1 to use no_printk() in sunrpc headers instead of marking
variables as __maybe_unused. This provides a cleaner, global fix and
enables compiler type checking.
v3:
- Expand commit descriptions to include technical details regarding macro
expansion, as requested by Andrew Lunn.
- Test the different platform, such as ARM, ARM64, X86_64.
v2:
- Split the original treewide patch into subsystem-specific commits.
- Added more detailed commit descriptions to satisfy checkpatch.
