pr_debug() have been added in various places in MPTCP code to help
developers to debug some situations. With the dynamic debug feature, it
is easy to enable all or some of them, and asks users to reproduce
issues with extra debug.
Many of these pr_debug() don't end with a new line, while no 'pr_cont()'
are used in MPTCP code. So the goal was not to display multiple debug
messages on one line: they were then not missing the '\n' on purpose.
Not having the new line at the end causes these messages to be printed
with a delay, when something else needs to be printed. This issue is not
visible when many messages need to be printed, but it is annoying and
confusing when only specific messages are expected, e.g.
# echo "func mptcp_pm_add_addr_echoed +fmp" \
> /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
# ./mptcp_join.sh "signal address"; \
echo "$(awk '{print $1}' /proc/uptime) - end"; \
sleep 5s; \
echo "$(awk '{print $1}' /proc/uptime) - restart"; \
./mptcp_join.sh "signal address"
013 signal address
(...)
10.75 - end
15.76 - restart
013 signal address
[ 10.367935] mptcp:mptcp_pm_add_addr_echoed: MPTCP: msk=(...)
(...)
=> a delay of 5 seconds: printed with a 10.36 ts, but after 'restart'
which was printed at the 15.76 ts.
The 'Fixes' tag here below points to the first pr_debug() used without
'\n' in net/mptcp. This patch could be split in many small ones, with
different Fixes tag, but it doesn't seem worth it, because it is easy to
re-generate this patch with this simple 'sed' command:
git grep -l pr_debug -- net/mptcp |
xargs sed -i "s/\(pr_debug(\".*[^n]\)\(\"[,)]\)/\1\\\n\2/g"
So in case of conflicts, simply drop the modifications, and launch this
command.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
