Design? Have you looked at printk recently? I think you called it something like "eye gouging" or maybe "burn it down". Dunno how anyone could consider what there anything other than accreted. I just tried to break it up into somewhat sensible blocks. > That's reasonably obvious from the names, but some might wonder about > the difference between printk_log and printk_syslog and how that > division was decided upon. None of the filenames are great. I still want to break out the console code from what's left of printk.c eventually. I think what would help most is a Documentation/printk.txt file explaining how it all works. cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
