WTF: patch "[PATCH] LoongArch: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 6.16-stable tree?

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 6.16-stable tree. I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst. I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again. thanks, greg k-h ------------------ original commit in Linus's tree ------------------ From d6d69f0edde63b553345d4efaceb7daed89fe04c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tao Cui <cuitao(a)kylinos.cn> Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 19:44:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() As Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst suggested, show() should only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned to user space.
