Does this change the output?
- If yes, could you show the before/after output in the changelog,
- If not (i.e. if only the number of printk calls is changed, the output is the
same), could you say so in the changelog?
Also, 3*OPCODE_BUFSIZE+2+1 is 195 bytes - isn't that a bit too much on-stack
footprint?
Thanks,
