Things like printk(KERN_INFO, ...) are quite well established, and changing really doesn't add any value. Sorry, I just don't buy the consistency argument. I'd much rather keep everything consistent within ext3 and ext4. If you want to apply those sorts of patches, feel free. I choose not to, and I actively discourage kernel newbies from running checkpatch.pl --file and trying to fix random things. (A few years ago everyone agreed that that was a waste of time.) - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
