[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/7] lib/vsprintf: add %*pg format specifier

[Dmitry Monakhov]

This allow to directly print block_device name.
Currently one should use bdevname() with temporal char buf[BDEVNAME_SIZE].
This is very ineffective because bloat stack usage for deep IO call-traces

Example:
	%pg  ->    sda, sda1 or loop0p1
