1If variable is of Type,		use printk format specifier:
2---------------------------------------------------------
3		int			%d or %x
4		unsigned int		%u or %x
5		long			%ld or %lx
6		unsigned long		%lu or %lx
7		long long		%lld or %llx
8		unsigned long long	%llu or %llx
9		size_t			%zu or %zx
10		ssize_t			%zd or %zx
11
12Raw pointer value SHOULD be printed with %p.
13
14u64 SHOULD be printed with %llu/%llx, (unsigned long long):
15
16	printk("%llu", (unsigned long long)u64_var);
17
18s64 SHOULD be printed with %lld/%llx, (long long):
19
20	printk("%lld", (long long)s64_var);
21
22If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
23blkcnt_t, phys_addr_t, resource_size_t) or is architecture-dependent
24for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a format specifier of its largest
25possible type and explicitly cast to it.  Example:
26
27	printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
28		(unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);
29
30Reminder: sizeof() result is of type size_t.
