Subject[PATCH 0/2] Two printf fixes
Date
Both %pE and %ph are unusable in kasprintf(), since the occurrence of
either will trigger an oops during the first vsnprintf call where
kasprintf tries to find the correct size to allocate. These oopses
could be papered over with somewhat smaller patches than these, but
then the return value from vsnprintf would still not reflect the
actual size needed. For %pE, this requires a change of semantics of
string_escape_mem and hence an annoyingly large diffstat.

Whether this is 3.20, 3.21 and/or -stable material (or /dev/null
material, for that matter ;-)) I'll leave to others to decide.
