Hi Geert,
Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the patch you mentioned, I've
actually addressed this in the v6 series sent yesterday [1].

My v6 approach is cleaner for a few reasons:
1. Compiler Optimization: In v6, we don't need explicit
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG) checks in files like
fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c. With -O2, the compiler already proves these branches
are unreachable and optimizes them away automatically.

2. Eliminating Redundancy: In include/linux/sunrpc/debug.h, the patch
you cited adds no_printk inside an else branch of ifdebug, which is
redundant. Since no_printk already performs type checking via
##__VA_ARGS__, simply refactoring the macro is sufficient:
-# define dfprintk(fac, fmt, ...)  do {} while (0)
+# define dfprintk(fac, ...)       no_printk(__VA_ARGS__)

3. Reducing Stubs: This also avoids the need for extra stub functions
when CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is disabled, as seen in fs/lockd/svclock.c.

This v6 series has already been reviewed by Andrew Lunn. I would
appreciate it if you could take a look at the updated logic there.
