This one is threadsafe (in the limit given by the number of buffers,
you probably want to configure that depending on the number of CPUs).
#define NTOABUFS 8
static char ntoabuf[NTOABUFS][16];
static int ntoaptr=0;
spinlock_t cipe_ntoalock=SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
const char *cipe_ntoa(const __u32 addr)
{
const unsigned char *x=(const unsigned char *)&addr;
char *p;
int b, i;
unsigned long flags;
spin_lock_irqsave(&cipe_ntoalock, flags);
b=ntoaptr;
if (++b>=NTOABUFS)
b=0;
ntoaptr=b;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cipe_ntoalock, flags);
p=ntoabuf[b];
for (i=0; i<4; ++i) {
int k=x[i]/100;
if (k)
*p++=k+'0';
k=(x[i]/10)%10;
if (k)
*p++=k+'0';
*p++=(x[i]%10)+'0';
if (i<3)
*p++='.';
}
*p='\0';
return ntoabuf[b];
}

PS. Why does gcc (2.95.2) say "variable defined but not used" for
cipe_ntoalock when I make it static?
