Subject: [PATCH 1/1] kexec: Use %pe format specifier for error pointer printing
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 20:03:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251016200320.4179702-1-yanjun.zhu@linux.dev> (raw)
Make pr_xxx() call to use the %pe format specifier instead of %d.
The %pe specifier prints a symbolic error string (e.g., -ENOMEM,
-EINVAL) when given an error pointer created with ERR_PTR(err).
This change enhances the clarity and diagnostic value of the error
message by showing a descriptive error name rather than a numeric
error code.
