Subject: Kernel traces coming back with trash/clutter
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 16:40:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f4e013870704241640q5a723664l2fda780a24f9b40e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I am experimenting with the kernel (CentOSv4.4 x86_64, 2.6.9-42.0.10)
and I have added a number of traces in some relatively sensitive code
in the page cache and some i/o functions.

I am getting this odd content in the trace log (dmesg), and I cannot
figure out what it is or why it is there.

(The lines with the <7>s in them are long - I wrapped them for ease of
reading and to keep the width down somewhat.)

Any feedback that might illuminate this would be welcome.  Please CC
me personally as I am not yet able to subscribe to this list
(apologies).

Thanks.
