Hmm. I see interval_tree_test using the same alerts. It almost looks like the start and end of a test are meant to be alerts. I am not saying it shouldn't be changed, however looking for a stronger reason than "it seems a lot more suitable to use INFO instead". Are there any use-cases in which KERN_ALERTs cause problems? -- Shuah -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
