There are lots of similar PRIx64 -> %j change in this patch,
'%j' specifier is for 'intmax_t' and which seems 64bit storage, so this should work with 64 bit variable 'q->base_pa', but the variable is explicitly uint64_t why replacing 'PRIx64' usage which is correct and more common usage in the DPDK? Why ionic is want to do this in its own way, I am not clear of the motivation of these changes really, can you please clarify?

As best I know, I am following the (two different) contribute guidelines pages, both of which direct submitters to run checkpatch. One of things checkpatch flags is lines over 80 columns. Many of these lines were over 80 columns or oddly broken to meet the 80 column limit.

%j is used in many other places in this PMD - as originally written by Alfredo, one of your core contributors. If we are allowed to use %j, I want to, since I much prefer it to the hideous PRIx64.


%j is accepted, that is not an issue. But you are making an active effort to convert PRIx64 -> %j, which is very unnecessary in my opinion.

80 column limit is not for log strings, but even if you are fixing them that is different thing from the PRIx64 -> %j conversion, you can keep PRIx64 and stay in 80 columns, and indeed lots of the cases the column limit seems not an issue at all.

Andrew, this is a driver currently marked as 'UNMAINTAINED', I kindly suggest focusing your 70+ functional changes instead of this PRIx64 -> %j syntax changes, but it is all up to you of course.

Even though FW may be guaranting the string will be null terminated, won't it be nice to provide input as null terminated if this is the expectation?

No, that is not the expectation. We prefer it to be this way.


It is know that FW will add NULL terminate the string but you "prefer" to provide 'name' without NULL termination. Why? "we prefer it to be this way" is not a good justification, please either change or explain in a logical way.
