I think this can be relaxed in a few cases (not just session setup), but is a good general rule. If only the parent function needs to be changed it is easy decision, but if changes more than two layers, perhaps not. > Ideally we should pass tcon into any and every leaf function for > tracepoints as well as debug logging. We also have to - log the tid and session id somewhere in human readable form - perhaps allow an IOCtl to retrieve the UNC name from the tid, and similarly something human readable for the session id (server and username) (or add the tid and session id to what is displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData so we can extract it from the DebugData output) > On Fri, May 18, 2018 at 4:19 PM, Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Thu, May 17, 2018 at 10:28 PM, Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Very nice. >>> >>> Acked-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@xxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> Possibly change the output from >>> pid=6633 tid=0x0 sid=0x0 cmd=0 mid=0 >>> to >>> cmd=0 mid=0 pid=6633 tid=0x0 sid=0x0 >>> >>> just to make it easier for human-searching.
