Because seq_buf gives us this already, the cover letter really just needs to state exactly what the benefit is to replace seq_buf with printbuf (and why seq_buf can not be simply extended to do some extra features). I just applied your series and ran the tracing selftests and several of them failed. # cd tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ # ./ftracetest This means that this is not a simple replacement and that there's going to be regressions with this change. The question is, is the added benefits of doing the change greater than the fallout of the regressions? -- Steve
