It counts the '\n' even when it is not used.
I think that it is even wrong that it calculates prefix when it is not used.

You forgot "insert_newline = false" here.

It is just matter of personal style but I would suggest to do this
before the do-while cycle:

/* Force newline if the previous text was not properly finished */
if ((prev & LOG_CONT) && (msg->flags & LOG_PREFIX) && (len < size)) {
if (buf)
buf[len++] = '\n';
else
len++;
}

IMHO, it is more clear. The do-while cycle already is complex enough.

BTW: This is relared to the first patch. I would either patch all
three locations in one patch or better split it into three patches.


Best Regards,
Petr
