Subject: [PATCH] scsi: core: Safe warning about bad dev info string
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2024 17:24:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240111162419.12406-1-pmladek@suse.com> (raw)
Both "model" and "strflags" are passed to "%s" even when one or both
are NULL.
It is safe because vsprintf() would detect the NULL pointer and print
"(null)". But it is a kernel-specific feature and compiler warns
about it:

Do not rely on the kernel specific behavior and print the message a safe way.
