Hmm. These are very good points, indeed. But do we want to list all
advantages here? I just wanted to mention SMP-unsafe pr_cont/printk(KERN_CONT),
because I also mention pr_line in kern_levels.h.

Interesting point. Any hint what the comment should look like?
Do we want to have static pr_line buffers?

80 bytes is quite short for OOM, agreed.

Do I get it right that you suggest to drop the "size" param?
Do OOM people agree on 1024 bytes stack usage?

Dunno, do we? Does code written in assembly call pr_cont that often?
We are not turning pr_line() into syscall anyway.

Yeah, I used the term "descriptor", just because it's used in seq_buf.c.
So, it's sort of common in seq_buf.
E.g.
seq_buf_vprintf(), seq_buf_print_seq(), seq_buf_can_fit() and so on.

Indeed.
We also need to fix a typo in seq_buf_vprintf() comment then.
