This is the same as the dev_map_lookup_elem report when running in interpreter
mode. It loads a different program to call bpf_trace_printk instead.

According to the context in bpf_bprintf_prepare(), this is checking if fmt ends
with a NUL word. Therefore, strnchrnul() should be used for validation instead
of strnchr().

The patch title is incorrect. It is used to fix errors using strnchr.

As your another email, this is not fixing the uninit KMSAN report.

If there was a separate bug, please post a separate patch instead of replying to
an unrelated thread and confuse syzbot.

I don't think it is correct either.

> if (!fmt_end)

e.g. what will strnchrnul return if fmt is not NULL terminated?

The current code is correct as is. Comment snippet from strnchr:

/*
* ...
*
* Note that the %NUL-terminator is considered part of the string, and can
* be searched for.
*/
char *strnchr(const char *s, size_t count, int c)

My comments is wrong, strnchr() work well.
