Hi Jan, I didn't see that thread before I submitted the patch... I don't want to start the conversation from the top 'cause this is not a patch that fixes some existing showstopper... however, I have two comments to make. First, this patch doesn't have the trailing "\n" problem that one had. Second, it seems that multiple people at different moments in time have the same idea to complete and, more important, to use the pr_*() family of macros because I guess it makes it easier to use them. In addition, it would make it less likely for people to forget using the loglevel in their kernel messages. Is trying to add them a dead path? Thing is that the existing ones suggest to, more or less, new people to the kernel that they should use them and then discover the incompleteness/inconsistency... Cheers, Emil. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
