  excuse me:
    I do not quite know how to reply the [RFC PATCH].
    it would be better if you can tell me how to do for [RFC PATCH], thanks.

    :-)


  at least for me:

    although it is good idea to add common, widely used features in public tools function.

    after searching the relative source code:
      it seems print ssid is not quite widely used (although it is a common feature).
        it is used by drivers/net/wireless/libertas
        it is used by drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00
        no additional using in current kernel source code wide.
      if another modules want to print ssid,
        they can still call print_ssid now (EXPORT_SYMBOL in net/wireless).

    so at least now, it is not necessary to add this feature to public tools function.

  Regards

gchen.

You did fine except you unnecessarily quoted the entire original email.
Remember to trim your replies please.  _lots_ of people read these
mailing lists and unnecessary quoting wastes all of their times.

It's akin to most of the minor uuid/bluetooth mac, etc codes
in vsprintf I've added.

cheers, Joe

  ok, thank you.

  I should notice, next time.  :-)

  after see the comments for function pointer in lib/vsprintf.c
  sorry for I do not think it is suitable to add ssid in vsprintf
    all formate features in vsprintf are face to kernel wide, not for one sub system
      one exception is for mac and ip:
        they have already been well known in kernel wide
        every one knows about mac and ip.
    I feel, our ssid is not quite well known in kernel wide

  maybe current place (net/wireless/) is not quite suitable for print_ssid:
    for bluetooth, it is not belong to net/wireless.
    if necessary, I suggest to reconstruct it within net sub system wide, not in kernel wide.


  (it is also my fault for my original reply, it is not quite clear)

Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it. print_ssid() is used in two or
three legacy drivers only, not in any modern driver, and is unlikely to
be used in the more modern drivers due to tracing etc.

Neither am I really, the only value I see in it is the
reduction in stack consumption by 100 bytes or so per use.

Swell.  It was just another way to correct those overrun
errors Chen Gang found.

You found some overrun errors and proposed a patch.
Your solution could output incomplete SSIDs.

I proposed a different patch that would fully output
any binary/non-ascii printable SSID.

I also proposed a different mechanism to avoid the
overrun via printk and also avoid possibly excessive
stack consumption as a means for John Linville to
select 1 of the above options.

I don't care what is done with any of those proposed
patches.

Clear?
