In order for end users to quickly react to new issues that come up in production, it is proving useful to leverage the printk indexing system. This printk index enables kernel developers to use calls to printk() with changeable ad-hoc format strings (as they always have; no change of expectations), while enabling end users to examine format strings to detect changes. Since end users are using regular expressions to match messages printed through printk(), being able to detect changes in chosen format strings from release to release provides a useful signal to review printk()-matching regular expressions for any necessary updates. So that detailed FAT messages are captured by this printk index, this patch wraps fat_msg with a macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
