Please combine any user-visible strings into a single line for which the
unneeded newline is dropped since these strings are modified anyway by
your patch.

Thanks,

That is what the submitted patch (2/12 specifically) did.

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.

Hm. I guess I stand corrected. The document reads:

"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.

I don't think that's the case:

"However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages,
because that breaks the ability to grep for them."

Hi Julia,

NACK.

As much as it's a pain when searching the source code for output strings,
this patch set goes against the accepted Linux coding style document. See:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html#breaking-long-lines-and-strings
