[PATCH v5 1/2] sunrpc: simplify dfprintk macros and fix nfsd build error

From: Sean Chang <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-28 18:08:37
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

When CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is disabled, the dfprintk() macros currently
expand to empty do-while loops. This causes variables used solely
within these calls to appear unused, triggering -Wunused-variable
warnings.

Following David Laight's suggestion, simplify the macro definitions by
removing the unnecessary 'fmt' argument and using no_printk(__VA_ARGS__)
directly. This ensures the compiler performs type checking and "sees"
the variables, silencing the warnings without emitting any code.

Additionally, fix a build error in fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c reported by syzbot.
In nfsd_setuser_and_check_port(), the variable 'buf' is conditionally
defined via RPC_IFDEBUG. Since no_printk() now performs type checking,
it triggers an 'undeclared identifier' error when debug is disabled.
Wrap the dprintk call in an #if block to synchronize its lifecycle
with 'buf', following the pattern in svc_rdma_transport.c.
