Typically we (scheduler) have removed printk()s (on boot) when BIGSMP folks say it creates boot pain. Much of it is now behind the sched_debug parameter, others are compressed. I've also seen other people reduce printk()s. In general reducing printk() is a good thing, its a low bandwidth channel for critical stuff like OOPSen and the like. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
