Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=v6.18.21 2025-09-24T23:30:34+00:00 2025-09-24T23:30:34+00:00 Viacheslav Dubeyko slava@dubeyko.com 2025-09-24T23:24:41+00:00 urn:sha1:f32a26fab3672e60f622bd7461bf978fc72f29ec Currently, HFS/HFS+ has very obsolete and inconvenient debug output subsystem. Also, the code is duplicated in HFS and HFS+ driver. This patch introduces linux/hfs_common.h for gathering common declarations, inline functions, and common short methods. Currently, this file contains only hfs_dbg() function that employs pr_debug() with the goal to print a debug-level messages conditionally. So, now, it is possible to enable the debug output by means of: echo 'file extent.c +p' > /proc/dynamic_debug/control echo 'func hfsplus_evict_inode +p' > /proc/dynamic_debug/control And debug output looks like this: hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/catalog.c:228 hfs_cat_delete(): delete_cat: 00,48 hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/extent.c:484 hfs_file_truncate(): truncate: 48, 409600 -> 0 hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/extent.c:212 hfs_dump_extent(): hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/extent.c:214 hfs_dump_extent(): 78:4 hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/extent.c:214 hfs_dump_extent(): 0:0 hfs: pid 5831:fs/hfs/extent.c:214 hfs_dump_extent(): 0:0 v4 Debug messages have been reworked and information about new HFS/HFS+ shared declarations file has been added to MAINTAINERS file. v5 Yangtao Li suggested to clean up debug output and fix several typos.
