But some functions change console_loglevel without sysctl (e.g. console_verbose() when reporting hung tasks and panic()). Should con->loglevel be changed (which might result in too much messages to slow consoles) when console_loglevel changes? > > The value will be used also for all newly registered consoles > when they do not have any custom one. > > > + The handler for "loglevel" early param should behave the same > as the sysctl handler. > > > IMHO, there is no perfect solution.
