Re: [PATCH] tools/bpf: bpftool:Fix the wrong format specifier

[Quentin Monnet]

Please drop the "tools/bpf: " part of the prefix in your patch title,
it's enough to keep "bpftool: ".

Thanks for this. The second chunk is not enough to fix the format
specifier cleanly, because NET_DUMP_UINT() may end up calling:

	jsonw_printf(self, "%"PRIu64, num);

So you probably need to add a NET_DUMP_INT() wrapper and call it here.

There's also another occurrence of the macro called on a signed
"ifindex" in net.c, in __show_dev_tc_bpf(), using "(%u)". Let's fix it
in the same patch, please?

Thanks,
Quentin
