Hello ! besides some other drivers, there is usb-serial which always prints kernel messages containing path and module sourcefile information.
some (maybe worst case) example: modprobe keyspan: usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Keyspan - (without firmware) drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Keyspan 1 port adapter drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Keyspan 2 port adapter drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Keyspan 4 port adapter usbcore: registered new interface driver keyspan drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.c: v1.1.5:Keyspan USB to Serial Converter Driver modprobe -r keyspan: usbcore: deregistering interface driver keyspan drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial deregistering driver Keyspan - (without firmware) drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial deregistering driver Keyspan 1 port adapter drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial deregistering driver Keyspan 2 port adapter drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial deregistering driver Keyspan 4 port adapter usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbserial_generic drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial deregistering driver generic usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbserial from my admin`s point of view, "drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c" is useless clutter which generates an overhead of ~30% here and makes reading dmesg more difficult. is there a special reason why there is a path to a sourcefile being printed here ? what`s the advantage of having this and not just "usb-serial:" instead ? can this probable be optimized (as most drivers only print "drivername:" anyway) ? regards roland _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
