The pr_fmt() macro could also be introduced instead. Also, you may want to include the HW_ERR prefix. Not all kernel messages related to hardware errors have this prefix today. But maybe that should be changed so there is more consistent messaging. Thanks, Yazen

What do you mean about pr_fmt()? > > Also, you may want to include the HW_ERR prefix. Not all kernel messages > related to hardware errors have this prefix today.

The messages which send SIGBUS does not include HW_ERR, e.g. in kill_proc(), kill_procs(). pr_err("%#lx: Sending SIGBUS to %s:%d due to hardware memory corruption\n",... pr_err("%#lx: forcibly killing %s:%d because of failure to unmap corrupted page\n",... > Thanks, > Yazen Thanks for valuable comments.
