All the output is related, so it should all be printed the same way.
Some of it was using pr_debug, but some of it appeared in dmesg by
default. The caller should handle failure, so there's no need to spam
dmesg with potentially quite a lot of output by default.

Sounds reasonable, but personally prefer to show error when some
vital incident happens, e.g. no memory on eviction.
The amdgpu driver still prints these in that case:

[drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* amdgpu_cs_list_validate(validated) failed.
[drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Not enough memory for command submission!

That's from cs submit, perhaps it may come from other places by ttm_bo_evict_mm().
Is that right? Christian.

That's plenty as far as I'm concerned. :)
Yeah, but in this case I would rather make the amdgpu messages debug
level and leave the TTM meassages on error level.

Christian.
