From c1cda48af8b330a23206eceef3bd030b53c979cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 03:07:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] initcall failure reporting We presently ignore the return values from initcalls. But that can carry useful debugging information. So print it out if it's non-zero. It turns out the -ENODEV happens quite a lot, due to built-in drivers which have no hardware to drive. So suppress that unless initcall_debug was specified. Also make the warning message more friendly by printing the name of the initcall function. Also drop the KERN_DEBUG from the initcall_debug message. If we specified inticall_debug then we obviously want to see the messages.
