Hi Hannes,

We want to handle the error message in userland for HA clusters, so the
error messages should be output in single(atomic) line. However, current
upstream kernel outputs SCSI error messages in multiple lines, so
current implementation is inconvenient. Even if human reads the error
messages, the split messages are difficult to read. Therefore, the
split error messages should be fixed.

In order to solve this problem, recently I submitted the patch fixing
SCSI error message split[1] to LKML. However, when I read the
discussion of you and Maurizio, I noticed that you already have fixed
in your branch.

When will you send your branch to linux-kernel ML or linux-scsi ML?

Thank you,

I'm all for removing it, and move over to SCSI tracing.
But not without general (read: the maintainers) consent.

James?

I like the printk cleanups and the more sensible sense printing. But why
perpetuate the crufty old SCSI logging stuff when we have SCSI tracing?

Sort of. That was the first attempt, but has been seen quite some
updates since then.

You can find the current development branch at

Are you talking about this patchset?

"scsi: avoid linebreaks in syslog output"
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=135003083808290&w=2

If you have a more complete and up-to-date patchset in your queue it would be interesting to have a look at it.

Maurizio Lombardi

Thanks for doing this.

I've actually a full patchset queued, converting all the stray
'printk' invocations in the SCSI stack to dev_printk() and friends.
And moving to a per-device scsi_log_level :-)

So far I haven't posted them as I'm still waiting for feedback
from my EVPD patchset.

But I can rebase them on top of that if you want to have a look at them.

Cheers,

Hannes

This patch converts the st driver to use dev_printk() instead of printk(),
every st device has a reference to the underlying scsi device.
