IMHO %pV should be avoided if possible. Just because people are doing it doesn't mean it should be used when it is not necessary.
Well, as the guy that created %pV, I of course have a different opinion.
then wouldn't it be easier to pass in the
kernel level as a separate parameter and then strip off all printk headers like this:
Depends on whether or not you care for overall object size. Consolidated formats with the embedded KERN_<LEVEL> like suggested are smaller overall object size.
This is an argument I can agree with. I'm generally in favor of things that lessen kernel size creep. :-)
As am I.
Sorry, to be clear, we are talking about the object size penalty due to adding a single parameter to a function. Is that right?
