Subject: [PATCH] crypto: padlock-aes - Make module loading even quieter when hardware is missing
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 13:50:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110730115011.GA2837@elie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110730061307.GA24394@gondor.apana.org.au>
When loading aes via the module alias, a padlock module failing to
load due to missing hardware is not particularly notable. With
v2.6.27-rc1~1107^2~14 (crypto: padlock - Make module loading quieter
when hardware isn't available, 2008-07-03), the padlock-aes module
suppresses the relevant messages when the "quiet" flag is in use; but
better to suppress this particular message completely, since the
administrator can already distinguish such errors by the absence of a
message indicating initialization failing or succeeding.
This avoids occasional messages in syslog of the form
padlock_aes: VIA PadLock not detected.

Thanks. Indeed, I was sloppy when reading the original report and
thought he was talking about a different message. Sorry for the
noise.
