Is pr_warn() the right level for this stuff? I'd think this sort of pilot error should
be pr_info() or even pr_debug(), if mentioned at all. pr_warn() would be for
something like an unexpected situation like trying to blink an LED but failing.
Simple syntax errors should probably just toss a -EINVAL and return.
Fair point. I'll change it to pr_info(). I'm reluctant to completely
"swallow" the error message, as I've been on the other side as a system
administrator trying to guess at the reason for an error code.
(Among other things, this allows a userspace script to spam the
log by simply repeatedly trying to create the same entry)
Only root, and they've got plenty of ways to do that.
Thanks!
