From 5fd29d6ccbc98884569d6f3105aeca70858b3e0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:57:02 -0700 Subject: printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).
