I'm speaking a bit for Dan here but also the logical way I thought of
things.
1) %p does not dictate anything about the format of the data. Rather
indicates that what is passed is a pointer. Because we are passing a
pointer to a range struct %pXX makes sense.
2) %pa indicates what follows is 'address'. This was a bit of creative
license because, as I said in the commit message most of the time
struct range contains an address range. So for this narrow use case it
also makes sense.
3) %par r for range.
%p[rR] is taken. %pra confuses things IMO.

%r could be used I think. But this breaks with the convention of passing a
pointer and how to interpret it. The other idea I had, mentioned in the commit
message was %pn. Meaning passed by pointer 'raNge'.
I think that follows better than %r. That would be another break from C99.
But we don't have to follow that.

Andy, I'm not quite following how you expect to share the code between
resource_string() and range_string()?
There is very little duplicated code. In fact with Petr's suggestions and some
more work range_string() is quite simple:
+static noinline_for_stack
+char *range_string(char *buf, char *end, const struct range *range,
+ struct printf_spec spec, const char *fmt)
+{
+#define RANGE_DECODED_BUF_SIZE ((2 * sizeof(struct range)) + 4)
+#define RANGE_PRINT_BUF_SIZE sizeof("[range -]")
+ char sym[RANGE_DECODED_BUF_SIZE + RANGE_PRINT_BUF_SIZE];
+ char *p = sym, *pend = sym + sizeof(sym);
+
+ *p++ = '[';
+ p = string_nocheck(p, pend, "range ", default_str_spec);
+ p = special_hex_number(p, pend, range->start, sizeof(range->start));
+ *p++ = '-';
+ p = special_hex_number(p, pend, range->end, sizeof(range->end));
+ *p++ = ']';
+ *p = '\0';
+
+ return string_nocheck(buf, end, sym, spec);
+}
Also this is the bulk of the patch except for documentation and the new
testing code. [new patch below]
Am I missing your point somehow? I considered cramming a struct range into a
struct resource to let resource_string() process the data. But that would
involve creating a new IORESOURCE_* flag (not ideal) and also does not allow
for the larger u64 data in struct range should this be a 32 bit physical
address config.
Most importantly that would not be much less code AFAICT.

printk: Add print format (%par) for struct range
The use of struct range in the CXL subsystem is growing. In particular,
the addition of Dynamic Capacity devices uses struct range in a number
of places which are reported in debug and error messages.
To wit requiring the printing of the start/end fields in each print
became cumbersome. Dan Williams mentions in [1] that it might be time
to have a print specifier for struct range similar to struct resource
A few alternatives were considered including '%pn' for 'print raNge' but
%par follows that struct range is most often used to store a range of
physical addresses. So use '%par' for 'print address range'.
