[PATCH v2 3/3] power: process: use explicit levels for printk continuations

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Fri Nov 25 2022 - 14:10:21 EST


Many of the printk messages emitted during suspend and resume are
emitted in fragments using pr_cont()/KERN_CONT.

As during suspend and resume a lot of operations are happing in the
kernel the chances are high that the fragments are interspersed with
unrelated messages.

In this case if no explicit level is specified for the fragments the
standard level is applied, which by default is KERN_WARNING.

If the user is only observing KERN_WARNING and *not* KERN_INFO messages
they will see incomplete message fragments.

By specifing the correct printk level also with the continuations this
mismatch can be avoided.
Also it reduces the amount of false-positive KERN_WARNING messages.
