This code in rdma seems to be miking json and newline functionality
which creates bug traps.

Also the json should have same effective output in pretty and non-pretty mode.
It looks like since pretty mode add extra object layer, the nesting of {} would be
different.

The conversion to json_print() was done but it isn't using same conventions
as ip or tc.

The correct fix needs to go deeper and hit other things.
