Hello,
I recently compiled 2.6.6 and got a gcc warning:
CC fs/smbfs/file.o
fs/smbfs/file.c: In function `smb_file_sendfile':
fs/smbfs/file.c:274: warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format
fs/smbfs/file.c:274: warning: too many arguments for format
Well, there seems to be a "z" instead of a "Z". I changed it and the
compile went cleanly. I downloaded the source of 2.6.7-rc3 and the typo
was still there.
The fixed line looks like:
PARANOIA("%s/%s validation failed, error=%Zd\n", DENTRY_PATH(dentry),
status);
Please CC any answers to me directly as I'm not subscribed to this list.
Bye, Bernhard Wesely

Just forwarding to the correct hands (as of MAINTAINERS file).

I reported this sometime back, and it appears it's not so much of a
typo, but GCC allows both in some cases - but not _my_ GCC.

I have to change to upper case 'Z' every new build to get it to build
clean.
