Building with -Wformat-nonliteral, gcc complains drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c: In function ‘ptp_clock_register’: drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c:239:26: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-nonliteral] worker_name : info->name); kthread_create_worker takes fmt+varargs to set the name of the worker, and that happens with a vsnprintf() to a stack buffer (that is then copied into task_comm). So there's no reason not to just pass "ptp%d", ptp->index to kthread_create_worker() and avoid the intermediate worker_name variable.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
