It makes the kernel image smaller and has consistency, typechecking and sparse advantages. print_mac(char *buf, const u8 *addr) print_ip(char *buf, __be32 addr) print_ipv6(char *buf, const u8 *addr) Current use of formatting for IPV6: NIP6_FMT in each format, 38 bytes %s is 2. NIP6(addr) is 8 args, and inlined ntohs overhead now it's: automatic buffer, format "%s", function call and 2 args IPv4 is more or less a wash: format "%u.%u.%u.%u", 11 bytes, 4 args inlined vs automatic buffer, format "%s", function call and 2 args - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
