i am thinking why not make %pg* to be more generic ?
not restricted to only GFP / vma flags / page flags .
so could we change format like this ?
define a flag spec struct to include flag and trace_print_flags and some other option :
typedef struct {
unsigned long flag;
struct trace_print_flags *flags;
unsigned long option; } flag_sec;
flag_sec my_flag;
in printk we only pass like this :
printk(“%pg\n”, &my_flag) ;
then it can print any flags defined by user .
more useful for other drivers to use .
Thanks
