Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 2/2] rust: bug: update the SAFETY comment for warn_slowpath_fmt() on UML
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 05:33:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108043327.98801-2-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108043327.98801-1-ojeda@kernel.org>
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
commit 5c94956f2bfb87025c1eaded6c51d5841d38d333 upstream.
The SAFETY comment says that it is always safe to call
`warn_slowpath_fmt()` with a valid null-terminated string. This is not
true. The taint argument must also be a valid taint number.
Commit 951d09ca450c ("rust: bug: pass TAINT_WARN to warn_slowpath_fmt()
on UML") fixed a bug where it was not.
List each condition that the call meets: the file name, the taint
number, and the null `fmt`.
