Verbose debug messages when accessing /dev/fd0

[Prasanna P Subash]

Hi lkml.

	when i do a
	fd = open( "/dev/fd0", O_WRONLY );

	in 2.4.2 series kernels, i get these messages on the console:

psubash kernel: floppy0: reschedule timeout lock fdc
psubash kernel: floppy0: reschedule timeout redo fd request
psubash kernel: floppy0: reschedule timeout redo fd request

psubash kernel: floppy0: jiffies=34789590
psubash kernel: floppy0: disk change line=80
psubash kernel: floppy0: flags=12

the last 4 lines showup after 2-3 seconds as I guess they are from the bottom halves.

To prevent this from writing all over my text based app I have to flank the open() with syslog()'s.

On a 2.2 kernel I get 2 debug lines instead (from end_request).

Are the log levels correct for these debug messages ?

Thanks,
