I chose lowercase for consistency with other kernel messages.
We're making a similar change in OpenZFS.

Thank you!
I don't know. I only know drivers are lowercase, and it looks nice when they're similar, so for the corresponding change in OpenZFS we made it lowercase. Comment Actions Is assfail actually used? I see a dtrace_assfail in dtrace code. (Didn't check the others.) Comment Actions I think this is fine. It's a bit of layering violation since opensolaris is supposed to be able to serve multiple consumers (dtrace and ZFS in the past, just dtrace now). I'm in favour of converting assertion and print function calls in dtrace to just using FreeBSD interfaces directly. |
