Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] initramfs: avoid static buffer for error message
Date: Tue,  4 Mar 2025 16:57:51 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250304061020.9815-9-ddiss@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250304061020.9815-1-ddiss@suse.de>

The dynamic error message printed if CONFIG_RD_$ALG compression support
is missing needn't be propagated up to the caller via a static buffer.
Print it immediately via pr_err() and set @message to a const string to
flag error.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   8006    1118       8    9132    23ac init/initramfs.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7938    1022       8    8968    2308 init/initramfs.o
