When building with Clang we encounter these warnings: | net/ipv4/ah4.c:513:4: error: format specifies type 'unsigned short' but | the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat] | aalg_desc->uinfo.auth.icv_fullbits / 8); - | net/ipv4/esp4.c:1114:5: error: format specifies type 'unsigned short' | but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat] | aalg_desc->uinfo.auth.icv_fullbits / 8); `aalg_desc->uinfo.auth.icv_fullbits` is a u16 but due to default argument promotion becomes an int. Variadic functions (printf-like) undergo default argument promotion. Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst specifically recommends using the promoted-to-type's format flag. As per C11 6.3.1.1: (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf) `If an int can represent all values of the original type ..., the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions.` Thus it makes sense to change %hu to %d not only to follow this standard but to suppress the warning as well.

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.
