[PATCH] Fixup KERN_INFO in tmscsim.c

[PATCH] Fixup KERN_INFO in tmscsim.c

[Nick Warne]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 537 bytes --]

Hi all,

Setting up my new AMD64 I noticed a curious one liner in syslogs:

^Iwith "disable_clustering=1" and report to maintainers

The attached patch fixes this up so he goes back to his wife
in /var/log/messages (or wherever KERN_INFO logs on the system):


DC390: clustering now enabled by default. If you get problems load
with "disable_clustering=1" and report to maintainers


The patch was created on stable 2.6.26.2 git tree.

Wow, are you sure you need the tmscsim driver on your new amd64 system?:-)

The message priority is indeed missing in the second line, but it has 
nothing to do with the "^I" in your log. I do not know why your syslogd / 
klogd converts a TAB to "^I". But if it is a problem, I think, the correct 
fix would be something like

-		printk(KERN_INFO "DC390: clustering now enabled by default. If you get problems load\n"
-		       "\twith \"disable_clustering=1\" and report to maintainers\n");
+		printk(KERN_INFO "DC390: clustering now enabled by default. If you get problems load\n");
+		printk(KERN_INFO "       with \"disable_clustering=1\" and report to maintainers\n");

Or maybe just remove that printk altogether - it has been there for almost 
2 years now, and I haven't heard a single complaint, but on the other 
hand, maybe you are the first, who at least loaded this driver since 2 
years:-)

Ok, taking into account that this driver is hardly used, I would keep this 
warning in case someone does get a problem.

So, please, redo as above, create with "-p1" format, fix your Sob line

which has to be

Signed-off-by: Nick Warne <nick@ukfsn.org>

and send the patch inline,

Thanks

I don't know :-)  A new distro (Slackware 12.1) has almost everything
set as modules, so I am currently building new kernel removing them as I
go - just the first couple of log scans revealed this...

Mystery to me too...
