By making it very ugly :) TP_printk("clnt %lu %s(tag = %d)\n%.8x: " "%02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x " "%02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x\n" "%.8x: " "%02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x " "%02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x\n", (long)__entry->clnt, show_9p_op(__entry->type), __entry->tag, 0, __entry->line1[0], __entry->line1[1], __entry->line1[2], __entry->line1[3], __entry->line1[4], __entry->line1[5], __entry->line1[6], __entry->line1[7], __entry->line1[8], __entry->line1[9], __entry->line1[10], __entry->line1[11], __entry->line1[12], __entry->line1[13], __entry->line1[14], __entry->line1[15], 16, __entry->line2[0], __entry->line2[1], __entry->line2[2], __entry->line2[3], __entry->line2[4], __entry->line2[5], __entry->line2[6], __entry->line2[7], __entry->line2[8], __entry->line2[9], __entry->line2[10], __entry->line2[11], __entry->line2[12], __entry->line2[13], __entry->line2[14], __entry->line2[15]) Like I said, it's not pretty, but it saves buffer space and moves the slow copy out of the fast path. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
