The recent commit to fix dynamic_debug was a bit unclean.
Neaten the style for dynamic_debug.
Reduce the stack use of message logging that uses netdev_printk
Add utility functions dev_printk_emit and dev_vprintk_emit for /dev/kmsg.

Joe Perches (5):
  dev_dbg/dynamic_debug: Update to use printk_emit, optimize stack
  netdev_printk/dynamic_netdev_dbg: Directly call printk_emit
  netdev_printk/netif_printk: Remove a superfluous logging colon
  dev: Add dev_vprintk_emit and dev_printk_emit
  device and dynamic_debug: Use dev_vprintk_emit and dev_printk_emit

Looks Good.

The one thing that is bothering me though, is that for
__dynamic_dev_dbg(), __dynamic_netdev_dbg(), we are copying much of the core
logic of __dev_printk(), __netdev_printk(), respectively. I would prefer
have this in one place. Can we add a 'prefix' argument to __dev_printk(),
and __netdev_printk() that dynamic debug can use, but is simply empty
for dev_printk() and netdev_printk().

I don't think that's an improvement actually.
Why don't you try it.

Ok, below is what I was thinking. It winds up being more deletions than
insertions.

Thanks,

dynamic debug: remove duplicate __netdev_printk() and  __dev_printk() logic 

Add an option prefix string argument to __netdev_printk() and __dev_printk().
In this way dynamic debug does not have to contain duplicate logic.

'Morning Jason.

Funny.  Crossed emails.

I still don't think this is better.

This does add an effectively unused "" to non-dynamic debug builds.
ie: the more common paths are encumbered as dynamic_debug isn't
a normally enabled distribution CONFIG_ option.

Yeah, not sure - I know Fedora enables it.

About the patch:

Wouldn't dev_printk_emit now would have a single caller and
could be made static?

Yes, I believe so.

Don't __dev_printk and __netdev_printk need EXPORT_SYMBOLs?

The usage in lib/dynamic_debug.c can't be built as a module. So not required.

If nobody else thinks this patch is better, let's at least add a comment in
__dev_printk() and __netdev_printk() to fix dynamic debug, if these are changed.

Thanks,

-Jason
