I didn't notice it in xprtrdma/transport.c, otherwise I'd've
removed it there too.

When the result is not used, snprintf is most commonly not
cast at all.

(There's a space and a tab in the brackets of the grep string)

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] "^[ 	]+snprintf\s*\(" * | wc -l
1301

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] "^[ 	]+\(\s*void\s*\)\s*snprintf\s*\(" * | wc -l
9

net/sunrpc/ has 7 of those.

I'll get around to submitting patches for all of them.
