Jan reported this: === After enabling CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE my system was broken (no network, console login not possible). System log was flooded with the this message: ... [ 608.052077] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: uevent [ 608.052500] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: uevent [ 608.052925] rtc-ds1307 0-0068: uevent ... The culprit is the dev_dbg printk in the i2c uevent handler. If this is activated (for instance by CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE) it results in an endless loop with systemd-journald. This happens if user-space scans the system log and reads the uevent file to get information about a newly created device, which seems fair use to me. Unfortunately reading the "uevent" file uses the same function that runs for creating the uevent for a new device, generating the next syslog entry. Ideally user-space would implement a recursion detection and after reading the same device file for the 1000th time call it a day, but nevertheless I think we should avoid this problem by removing the debug print completely or using another print variant. The same problem seems to be reported here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76886 === His patch converted the message to pr_debug, but I think the debug can simply go. We have other means to see code paths these days. This enables us to clean up the function some more while we are here.
