Hi Dan,

I see that we are reading the same ML :)


Well, I'm a bit puzzled by it.
On one hand, it is more user-friendly. On the other hand it is not
widely used up to now.

So is it better to keep the legacy way of reporting error code?

Do you know if there is preferred way?

Using it after a IS_ERR is straightforward, but should we also do things
like (kmalloc usually don't need error message, just given as an example):
x = kmalloc(...);
if (!x)
dev_err(dev, "Memory allocation failure (%pe)\n",
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM));

When changing a message and make use of %pe, should all the messages in
the neighborhood be changed as well to keep some kind of consistancy?
