From: Krzysztof Helt <redacted> Fix debug printk types mismatch after my earlier changes.#define DPRINTK(fmt, args...) pr_debug("%s: " fmt, __func__ , ## args) unconditionally, so you always catch these?I do not understand. Is it a suggestion to make DPRINTK unconditional?Yes.quoted
Then, the amount of information printed should be trimmed down. It is excessive now.Please not that pr_debug() gets optimized away if DEBUG is not defined ( i.e. it doesn't cause excessive output), while it still performs printf()-style format checking.
hm. No change occurred as a result of this discussion. I guess none was really needed - I'll go ahead with the patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/
