[ Upstream commit611583a76e] print_worker_info() declares its local 'fn' as work_func_t * but worker->current_func has type work_func_t (a function pointer). The extra level of indirection is wrong and only happens to be harmless today because every supported Linux architecture has sizeof(work_func_t) == sizeof(work_func_t *): copy_from_kernel_nofault() reads the correct number of bytes by accident, and %ps still resolves the printed address because the stored value is the function address regardless of declared type. On any future ABI where sizeof(void (*)()) differs from sizeof(void *), the nofault copy would transfer the wrong number of bytes and the subsequent %ps would print an incorrect address. Match the field type so the intent is explicit and the code does not silently rely on equal pointer sizes.

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.
