Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: seq: Degrade the error message for too many opens
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:53:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453726408-16004-2-git-send-email-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1453726408-16004-1-git-send-email-tiwai@suse.de>

ALSA OSS sequencer spews a kernel error message ("ALSA: seq_oss: too
many applications") when user-space tries to open more than the
limit.  This means that it can easily fill the log buffer.

Since it's merely a normal error, it's safe to suppress it via
pr_debug() instead.
