mmm and what do you think about adding yet another format letter e.g. [rR] for resource_size_t as it was done for [zZ]?

You'd also have to teach gcc about it.

What should I teach to gcc?

Don't try, it's a waste of effort. Just do the cast to unsigned long long as previously suggested.

I'd rather do neither. Talking to Viro we've been thinking about removing the format check attributes from the kernel and using sparse instead, which is under a bit tighter control.
