[patch 0/1][RESEND] New Logging approach for Device Mapper

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have modified the previous dm logging patch to print logs in more user friendly format. 

Ex :
Nov  9 16:45:04 localhost kernel: device-mapper: multipath: [dm-1] Switching to pathgroup index 1
Nov  9 16:45:04 localhost kernel: device-mapper: multipath: [dm-1] Selecting path sdc for I/O


This new patch includes following changes:
 - printing "[dm-*]" instead of "major:minor"
 - Added 3 macro functions for logging 
	# define DMLOG(..)
		* It should be used when  we just want to print message without device name.
		Prototype : #define DMLOG(SHIFT, LEVEL, f, arg...)
		Usage ex: DMLOG(DMLOG_INIT, DMLOG_INFO, "cleaned up");
		 
	# define DMLOG1(..)
		* prints device name with messages
		* (struct mapped_device * ) needs to be passed as 3rd argument to this macro function
		Prototype : #define DMLOG1(SHIFT, LEVEL, MAPPED_DEVICE, f, arg...)
		Usage ex: DMLOG1(DMLOG_IOCTL, DMLOG_INFO, md, " Setting DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag");

	# define DMLOG2(..)
		* prints device name with messages
		* (struct dm_target * ) needs to be passed as 3rd argument to this macro function. 
		  (Typically to be used by target)
		Prototype : #define DMLOG2(SHIFT, LEVEL, DM_TARGET, f, arg...)
		Usage ex: DMLOG2(DMLOG_IOCTL, ti, "Unrecognised multipath message received.");


How to set logging level :
---------------------------
[copy paste from my previous mail]

1) On-the-fly by setting /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/dm_logging_level. 

For example: To enable DMLOG_INIT logs for all ERROR (i.e DMLOG_ERR level) and DMLOG_ADD_DEV logs at DMLOG_INFO level, we can set as 
               follows:
	4   2   0       	 
	|_|_|_|_|
       1 1 0 1   -->0x0d or 13	 
	
	echo 0x0000000d > >/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/dm_logging_level
			or
	echo 13 >/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/dm_logging_level


2) At boot time using modprobe.conf:
		options dm-mod dm_logging_level=13
	

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dm_logging_level bitwise representation (2 bit reserved for each logging type)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  	  20  18  16  14  12  10  8   6   4   2   0	
      ......|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|         
            \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_INIT   
          	 \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_ADD_DEV    
              \   \   \   \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_REMOVE_DEV
               \   \   \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_IOCTL
                \   \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_IO   
                 \   \   \   \   \_DMLOG_UEVENT   
                  \   \   \   \_DMLOG_TABLE
                   \   \   \_DMLOG_FAILOVER         
                    \   \_DMLOG_PATH_ACTIVATE
	               \_DMLOG_PATH_DEACTIVATE
