As there are for printk.

I use "\bpr_(emerg|crit|alert|err|notice|warn|warning|info|debug)\b"
and "\bprintk\b" or -w

I did write "more current" and not predominate
as there are large blocks of historical crud.

You might try the same test on current code in
the last couple of years or so.

pr_<foo> was introduced October 2007 by
commit 1f7c8234c7a68

$ git log -p --since=2-years-ago | \
  grep -P "^\+.*\bpr_(emerg|crit|alert|err|notice|warn|warning|info|debug)\b" | \
  wc -l
22704

$ git log -p --since=2-years-ago | \
  grep -P "^\+.*\bprintk\b" | \
  wc -l
24899

A lot of that was original submissions of older
out-of-tree drivers with printk that were later
converted to pr_<level> or dev_<level>, etc.

In an aside:

Gads, I need a faster netbook, that took
10's of minutes to produce...

Any suggestions?

cheers, Joe
