We still need some kind of macro because with LPAE we need %016llx since the phys address can go to 40-bit and there are some additional bits in the top word. Unless you'd like to always print 16 characters even for 32-bit ptes (or if there is some other printk magic I'm not aware of). > In any case, this patch on its own introduces new compiler warnings. > These need to be fixed in this patch, rather than relying on one later > in the series. Yes, we'll look into this. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
