Hi Antti.
I stand by my statement as I only looked at the
patch snippet itself, not any function real code.
In the actual code, there's a test above it:
if (len != 8) {
dev_warn(dev, "imon %s: invalid incoming packet size (len = %d,
intf%d)\n",
__func__, len, intf);
return;
}
So in my opinion, this would be better/smaller as:
dev_dbg(dev, "raw packet: %8ph\n", urb->transfer_buffer);

Nope, it is. (from printk.h)
#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
#define print_hex_dump_debug(prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize, \
groupsize, buf, len, ascii) \
dynamic_hex_dump(prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize, \
groupsize, buf, len, ascii)
#else
#define print_hex_dump_debug(prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize, \
groupsize, buf, len, ascii) \
print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize, \
groupsize, buf, len, ascii)
#endif /* defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) */
It prints multiple lines when the length is > 16.
It prints the ascii along with the hex if desired.
cheers, Joe
