[PATCH 2/3] 9p: v9fs_listxattr: fix %s null argument warning

From: Dominique Martinet
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 19:37:43 EST


W=1 warns about null argument to kprintf:
In file included from fs/9p/xattr.c:12:
In function ‘v9fs_xattr_get’,
inlined from ‘v9fs_listxattr’ at fs/9p/xattr.c:142:9:
include/net/9p/9p.h:55:2: error: ‘%s’ directive argument is null
[-Werror=format-overflow=]
55 | _p9_debug(level, __func__, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use an empty string instead of :
- this is ok 9p-wise because p9pdu_vwritef serializes a null string
and an empty string the same way (one '0' word for length)
- since this degrades the print statements, add new single quotes for
xattr's name delimter (Old: "file = (null)", new: "file = ''")

I've checked this works as expected (getfattr listing all user.* xattrs
after setting some), so let's fix this warning.

As pointed out by Dan this makes the message les clear, so I added
single quotes to make it clear we're dealing with an empty string; I
think it's good enough.
Su, I made you only Suggested-by because of the extra legwork and
format changes, but happy to give you authorship if it's something you
care about; I'd just like to get it out during the next merge window
in a couple of weeks so please say the word.

This makes fs/9p build warning-free with W=1 on gcc 12
