| |
Hi,
This patch series introduces WARN(), which is a WARN_ON() variant that takes printk() like arguments. This was done after both akpm and I hit several cases where this would have been useful; in addition, with WARN(), we put the printk string inside the -----[ cut here ]----- section, making it more likely that users (and tools like kerneloops) pick up the message in addition to just the bare WARNING.
The first few patches have been in -mm for a long time; the later ones are newer and introduce more users of WARN().
