So maybe add some wrapper that does a pr_info then a pr_debug for the second and subsequent uses like: #define pr_info_once_then_debug(fmt, ...) \ ({ \ static bool __print_once __read_mostly; \ \ if (!__print_once) { \ __print_once = true; \ pr_info(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ } else { \ pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ } \ })
