Perhaps a better idea than this patch is to change both the cERROR and cFYI macros to a new use of cifs_dbg(type, fmt, ...) cERROR(set, fmt, ...) -> cifs_dbg(VFS, fmt, ...) cFYI(set, fmt, ...) -> cifs_dbg(FYI, fmt, ...) This conversion would mark both these macros as debug stataments as they are only enabled with CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG. Also CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2 use of DBG could also be integrated with the same style. cFYI(DBG2, fmt, ...) -> cifs_dbg(NOISY, fmt, ...) The reduced object size would still apply. This would also enable an easier conversion to dynamic debugging of these debug macros. I'd prefer to move the newline from the macro to the format as that is more consistent with the rest of the kernel.
