It also allows you to modify pr_fmt at the top of the file or elsewhere and have it influence the output, as just one example of how it's better. As a maintainer you can only take one of two positions: 1) Accept all properly written patches that convert code over to use the new and recommended way of doing things, such as pr_info() et al. 2) Advocate on linux-kernel to remove these new interfaces or improve them if you don't find them suitable, and then once suitable go back to #1. Just keeping things the way they are because you simply feel like it is really not acceptable 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
