[PATCH 2/5] printk: implement [v]printk_header()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Implement [v]printk_header() which takes @header argument and
automatically prints header in front of or indents multiline messages.
For example, if @header is "<7>ata1.00: " and the formatted message is
"<6>line0\nline1\n", the following gets written to the console.

<6>ata1.00: line0
<6>         line1

Header is printed only on the first lines and when log level changes
in the middle in case messages of different log level are sent to
different destinations.  Other lines are indented the same amount as
the length of the header.  This helps to distinguish where a multiline
message begins when messages of similar pattern repeats, for
example...

ata8.00: cmd 60/80:20:e1:71:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 4 ncq 65536 in
         res 40/00:34:de:71:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)
ata8.00: cmd 60/0e:28:d0:71:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 5 ncq 7168 in
         res 40/00:34:de:71:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)
ata8.00: cmd 60/7f:38:61:72:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 7 ncq 65024 in
         res 40/00:34:de:71:02/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)

+ * printk_header - print a kernel message with header

+ * @fmt: format string
+ *
+ * This is printk() with a twist.  @header points to string which will
+ * be used as message header.  If @header is NULL, this function is
+ * identical to printk().
+ *
+ * @header may contain loglevel in front of it.  Each new line
+ * including the first one in the message formatted from @fmt can also
+ * have loglevel.  When both exist, the latter is used.  In multiline
+ * messages, log level is inherited from the previous line if not
+ * explicitly specified.
+ *
+ * @header is printed when new line starts if @header hasn't been
+ * printed yet for the current log level.  That means, in a multiline
+ * message where all the lines are of the same log level, @header is
+ * printed only once before the first line.
+ *
+ * Lines which don't have @header printed in front of them are
+ * indented by the same number of characters in @header - they are
+ * aligned with lines which have @header in front of them.
+ *
+ * For example, if @header is "<7>ata1.00: " and the formatted message
+ * is "<6>line0\nline1\n<4>line2\nline3\n", the following gets written to
