I have a patch I've written to address a format specifier change that breaks some tests in tc-testing, but I wanted to ask about the change and for some guidance with respect to how formatters are approached in iproute2.
On a recent run of tdc tests I ran ./tdc.py -c qdisc and found: 1..91 not ok 1 8b6e - Create RED with no flags Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output: qdisc red 1: root refcnt 2 limit 1Mb min 100Kb max 300Kb not ok 2 342e - Create RED with adaptive flag Could not match regex pattern.

Verify command output: qdisc red 1: root refcnt 2 limit 1Mb min 100Kb max 300Kbecn adaptive not ok 5 5f15 - Create RED with flags ECN, harddrop Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output: qdisc red 1: root refcnt 2 limit 1Mb min 100Kb max 300Kbecn harddrop not ok 6 53e8 - Create RED with flags ECN, nodrop Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output: qdisc red 1: root refcnt 2 limit 1Mb min 100Kb max 300Kbecn nodrop ok 7 d091 - Fail to create RED with only nodrop flag not ok 8 af8e - Create RED with flags ECN, nodrop, harddrop Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output: qdisc red 1: root refcnt 2 limit 1Mb min 100Kb max 300Kbecn harddrop nodrop I git bisected and found d0e450438571("tc: q_red: Add support for qevents "mark" and "early_drop"), the commit that introduced the formatting change causing the break. - print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "max %s ", sprint_size(qopt->qth_max, b3)); + print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "max %s", sprint_size(qopt->qth_max, b3)); I made a patch that adds a space after the format specifier in the iproute2 tc/q_red.c and tested it using: tdc.py -c qdisc. After the change, all the broken tdc qdisc red tests return ok. I'm including the patch under the scissors line. I wanted to ask the ML if adding the space after the specifier is preferred usage. The commit also had: - print_uint(PRINT_ANY, "ewma", "ewma %u ", qopt->Wlog); + print_uint(PRINT_ANY, "ewma", " ewma %u ", qopt->Wlog); so I wanted to check with everyone.
