Hi, This patch set implements debugging subsystem in NILFS2 driver. The debugging subsystem includes: (1) debugging subsystem API; (2) subsystems and printing opportunity flags; (3) kernel configuration options. The debugging subsystem API includes: (1) nilfs2_debug() method. It is a basic debugging method. It expects a set of flags, format string and variable arguments list. (2) nilfs2_hexdump() method. It is a method for writing in system log hexdumps of internal structures. It expects a set of flags, prefix string, pointer on memory and size of pointed data. (3) NILFS_ERR_DBG() macros. It is a macros that prints out file name, line number, function name and error code. Every module of NILFS2 driver has dedicated flag. These flags give opportunity to enable debugging output only from required modules of NILFS2 driver. There are several special output flags: (1) DBG_SHOW_ERR flag. This flag requests writing in system log messages about internal errors of NILFS2 driver. (2) DBG_DUMP_STACK flag. This flag requests output of dump stack. (3) DBG_SPAM flag. This flag requsts output from frequently called functions or detailed debugging output from function's body. (4) DBG_HEX_DUMP flag. This flag requests writing in system log hexdumps of internal structures. The debugging subsystem of NILFS2 driver has DBG_MASK that defines set of flags for debugging output. Namely, this mask is used for comparing requested flag with set of flags that should be printed out. Such selection mechanism is used for the case of printk() calls. Also, it is available opportunity of dynamic debugging by means of pr_debug() method using. In such case the behaviour of pr_debug() is controlled via writing to a control file in the 'debugfs' filesystem. The debugging subsystem is configured by means of kernel configuration options: (1) NILFS2_USE_PR_DEBUG This option enables using of pr_debug() instead of printk() and print_hex_dump_bytes() instead of print_hex_dump(). (2) NILFS2_DEBUG_SHOW_ERRORS This option enables writing in system log messages about internal errors of NILFS2 driver. (3) NILFS2_DEBUG_DUMP_STACK This option enables output of dump stack. Usually, every function in NILFS2 driver begins from debugging output of function name, file, line and input arguments' value. In the case of enabling this option debugging output will include dump stack too. (4) NILFS2_DEBUG_SHOW_SPAM This option enables output from frequently called functions or detailed debugging output from function's body. (5) NILFS2_DEBUG_HEXDUMP This option enables writing in system log hexdumps of internal structures. (6) NILFS2_DEBUG_BASE_OPERATIONS This option enables base operations subsystem debugging output. (7) NILFS2_DEBUG_MDT_FILES This option enables metadata (MDT) files subsystem debugging output. (8) NILFS2_DEBUG_SEGMENTS_SUBSYSTEM This option enables segments subsystem debugging output. (9) NILFS2_DEBUG_GC_SUBSYSTEM This option enables GC subsystem debugging output. (10) NILFS2_DEBUG_RECOVERY_SUBSYSTEM This option enables recovery subsystem debugging output. (11) NILFS2_DEBUG_BLOCK_MAPPING This option enables block mapping subsystem debugging output. (12) NILFS2_DEBUG_BUFFER_MANAGEMENT This option enables buffer/page management subsystem debugging output.
