└─>Default message log level (1-7)
In linux kernel since version 3.17 (release Date: 2014-10-05)
Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
priority.
Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,
or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
