It does breaks our current parser that expects "CDB:" for all upiu types

Indeed, it is just a small change, but breaking user-space is not an acceptable approach.
Also, the upiu tracer was never meant to be human-readable: it just dump the upiu,
Which contains all the info required to parse it anyway,
So breaking user-space just to making it more readable doesn't really make sense?

Looking at the previous 2 patches of this series, I was hoping that you will do the same for
Command upiu, as well?
Again - same comment: if you are doing that need to change the str not to break current parsers.

Thanks,
Avri
