Serial driver (serial_core.c) status messages should be set to KERN_INFO

Serial driver (serial_core.c) status messages should be set to KERN_INFO

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hello,


When upgrading to 2.6.13 I've noticed that serial driver reports it 
status with unknown severity, causing the boot-splash to be overridden.


Please consider this modification.


Best Regards,

Alon Bar-Lev.


At drivers/serial/serial_core.c


 static inline void

 uart_report_port(struct uart_driver *drv, struct uart_port *port)
 {
-        printk("%s%d", drv->dev_name, port->line);
+      printk(KERN_INFO + "%s%d", drv->dev_name, port->line);

         printk(" at ");
         switch (port->iotype) {
         case UPIO_PORT:
                 printk("I/O 0x%x", port->iobase);
                 break;
         case UPIO_HUB6:
                 printk("I/O 0x%x offset 0x%x", port->iobase, port->hub6);
                 break;
         case UPIO_MEM:
         case UPIO_MEM32:
                 printk("MMIO 0x%lx", port->mapbase);
                 break;
         }
         printk(" (irq = %d) is a %s\n", port->irq, uart_type(port));
 }

plus sign between that?

why the fellows didn't put this to the line above?

And what about these?

looks like they're not on a newline, so need no severity.

ok, ok, but isn't this a little bit racy (so you can see dev_name and 
line, then another driver's info and then " at ", then something else...)

I think you'll find things are serialised.

You are right!!! the + is mistake.
The KERN_INFO is the main fix.

Regarding the other comments... I really don't know... this is how the 
driver is written....
I would have constructed a string and only then printk it...

Please don't submit patches to bugzilla as a way to get them into the
kernel.  Instead, please send them direct to the person/mailing list
responsible for the area, as per the SubmittingPatches document in
the kernel tree.

Thanks.
