This is precisely because it is a debug hook that I find dangerous to
display a wrong value. As the mbuf are recycled, a mbuf that does not
have a vlan_tci can display its previous value, which may look valid.
What about simply doing this?
fprintf(f,
" pkt_len=%u, ol_flags=%#"PRIx64", nb_segs=%u, port=%u",
m->pkt_len, m->ol_flags, m->nb_segs, m->port);
if (m->ol_flags & PKT_RX_VLAN)
fprintf(f, ", vlan_tci=%#x", m->vlan_tci);
fprintf(f, "\n");
If you want I can submit an updated version of your patch.
