"However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them."
Still, the GFS2 and DLM code has a plethora of broken-up printk messages, and I don't like the thought of re-combining them all.
Actually, the point of the patch was to remove the unnecessary \n at the end of the string, because log_print will add another one. If you prefer to keep the string broken up, I can resend the patch in that form, but without the unnecessary \n.
