If after printk("E"); printk("E"); both E are on the same line I'd say switching to pr_alert and adding \n is bad. I don't know off-hand if that's the case, maybe Joe does? > [...] > diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c > b/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c > index 7c67667..78f63f5 100644 > --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c > +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c > @@ -915,8 +915,7 @@ static inline void mangle_address(unsigned char *begin, > } > > if (debug) > - printk(KERN_DEBUG "bsalg: mapped %pI4 to %pI4\n", > - &old, addr); > + pr_debug("bsalg: mapped %pI4 to %pI4\n", &old, addr); This is also a change in behaviour. The removed line results in the message making it into the kernel log buffer unconditionally (though probably not on the console). The newly added line is a noop however unless DEBUG is defined. This doesn't mean the change is bad, but at least it's not in the scope for a trivial cleanup patch that just converts existing code to the modern way with no intend to change behaviour.
