No, no one has suggested that, having the functions be static inline should make it all "just work" properly if debugfs is not enabled. The variables will not be used, so the compiler should just optimize them away properly. No checks for CONFIG_DEBUG_FS should be needed anywhere in .c code. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
