Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: mm: Don't use %pK through printk
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:49:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811-restricted-pointers-arm-v2-1-74bac42f3699@linutronix.de> (raw)
Restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.
Switch to %px over the more secure %p as this usage is a debugging aid,
gated behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and used by WARN().
