So XFS only uses these flags in unsigned int fields that are
typed via:

typedef unsigned int xfs_buf_flags_t;

So on the surface, declaring the flag values as ULONG and then writing
them into a UINT field is not a nice thing to be doing.

I really don't want to change the xfs_buf_flags_t type to an
unsigned long, because that changes the packing of the first
cacheline of the struct xfs_buf and the contents of that cacheline
are performance critical for the lookup fastpath....

Looking at __print_flags, the internal array type declaration is:

struct trace_print_flags {
        unsigned long           mask;
        const char              *name;
};

and that's the source of the problem.  I notice __print_flags_u64()
exists, but __print_flags_u32() does not. Should it?

Cheers,

Dave.
