Hi,

FWIIW, my feeling is that if a log message includes __func__ then it should
be a debug level message, and even then I'm dubious about the value of
__func__: we do have many tools including dynamic tracing or pinpointing
problems.

So I would suggest rephrasing this message and dropping __func__.
Or maybe removing it entirely.
Or if not, lowering the priority of this message to debug.

If for some reason __func__ remains, please do consider wrapping
the line to 80c columns or less, which can be trivially done here
(please don't split the format string in any case).

Here too.
