Is it better to keep printk here? In your last patch, you removed it because gnttab_request_version and gnttab_resume are all called in gnttab_init. and gnttab_resume also contains calling of gnttab_request_version. But in this patch, gnttab_setup is used, and does not have this issue now.

Yes, I think we want to print this at both start of day and resume?
Right.
Either by adding a print to gnttab_resume()
Only adding a print into gnttab_resume() would miss this print at start of day. In gnttab_init, gnttab_request_version and gnttab_setup are called, not gnttab_resume.
or by keeping the existing
one here in preference to moving it to gnttab_setup(). I'd prefer the
latter to avoid the duplication, unless I'm mistaken and request_version
is called in more than those two locations.
Yes, I'd like the latter. Request_version is only called in those two locations.

Thanks
