Subject: [PATCH] include: linux/printk.h: allow forcing log level per file
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 18:11:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205171147.3096490-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
We support defining DEBUG or VERBOSE_DEBUG to increase the log level per
file, but we lack a way to decrease the log level.
The latter could be useful when shotgun debugging with all debug logging
enabled, as otherwise some debug output may drown out everything else.
To support this, allow LOGLEVEL to be defined per file. We don't expect
that any files committed to tree would do this, but it may turn out to
be useful during debugging.
