Using %pV reduces the number of printk calls and eliminates any possible message interleaving from other printk calls.
Wouldn't it be easier and more convenient to just make the %pV format specifier just expect a format string and the va_arg list? Like this printk(KERN_DEBUG "%pV", format, &args); I mean, the %pV is kernel specific and we can just change how it works.
No it wouldn't.
gcc would now warn about a mismatch between format and arguments.
