Or a macro that can be used like

	log_trace_fsync_nonzero(writeout_only);
	log_trace_fsync_nonzero(hardware_flush);

something along the lines of

#define log_trace_fsync_nonzero(var) \
	if (count_fsync_ #var) \
		trace2_data_intmax("fsync", the_repository, \
			"fsync/" ##var, count_fsync_ #var)

using token pasting and token stringification ;-)

The macro itself I am not serious at all.  s/_if/_nonzero/ may be
worth pondering, though.

Makes sense.

Neeraj, Ack, as the author of 9a498767 (trace2: add stats for fsync
operations, 2022-03-30)?

Thanks all.
