Re: [PATCH 3/3] refscale: always log the error message

[lizhijian@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Paul

During adding the missing '\n', i also found there are some verbose control error message
Should we convert it like [PATCH 3/3] refscale: always log the error message

lizj@FNSTPC: linux$ git grep VERBOSE.*_ERRSTRING
include/linux/torture.h:#define VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING(s) \
kernel/locking/locktorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("writer_tasks: Out of memory");
kernel/locking/locktorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("reader_tasks: Out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:#define VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING(s) \
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:          VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING("All grace periods expedited, no normal ones to measure!");
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:          VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING("All grace periods normal, no expedited ones to measure!");
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:          VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING("No expedited async GPs, so went with async!");
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:          VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:          VERBOSE_SCALEOUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c: VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/scftorture.c:#define VERBOSE_SCFTORTOUT_ERRSTRING(s, x...) \
kernel/scftorture.c:            VERBOSE_SCFTORTOUT_ERRSTRING("all zero weights makes no sense");
kernel/scftorture.c:            VERBOSE_SCFTORTOUT_ERRSTRING("built as module, weight_resched ignored");
kernel/scftorture.c:            VERBOSE_SCFTORTOUT_ERRSTRING("out of memory");
kernel/torture.c:               VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING("Failed to alloc mask");
kernel/torture.c:               VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING(f);



Thanks
