Hi Steve o/ I personally like more a pr_info() instead of a cifs_dbg (which wraps to a pr_warn). But in order to keep in line with the general CIFS coding style I stuck to cifs_dbg But I would happily rewrite the cifs_dbg to pr_info a v3: That would be good enough too. Ah for what is worth my test/target systems are CentOS/Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Thoughts?
