----- Original Message ----- | Drop newline at the end of a message string when the printing function adds | a newline. Hi Julia, NACK. As much as it's a pain when searching the source code for output strings, this patch set goes against the accepted Linux coding style document. See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html#breaking-long-lines-and-strings Regards, Bob Peterson

The document reads: "However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them." Still, the GFS2 and DLM code has a plethora of broken-up printk messages, and I don't like the thought of re-combining them all. Regards, Bob Peterson

Actually, the point of the patch was to remove the unnecessary \n at the end of the string, because log_print will add another one. If you prefer to keep the string broken up, I can resend the patch in that form, but without the unnecessary \n. julia

Please combine any user-visible strings into a single line for which the unneeded newline is dropped since these strings are modified anyway by your patch. Thanks, Bart.

That is what the submitted patch (2/12 specifically) did. julia
