Subject: [PATCH v2] f2fs: optimize trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint with enums
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:23:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251128032509.825003-1-yhli@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <no>

This patch optimizes the tracepoint by replacing these hardcoded strings
with a new enumeration f2fs_cp_phase.

1.Defines enum f2fs_cp_phase with values for each checkpoint phase.
2.Updates trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint to accept a u16 phase argument
instead of a string pointer.
3.Uses __print_symbolic in TP_printk to convert the enum values
back to their corresponding strings for human-readable trace output.

This change reduces the storage overhead for each trace event
by replacing a variable-length string with a 2-byte integer,
while maintaining the same readable output in ftrace.

Signed-off-by: YH Lin <yhli@google.com>
V2:
- Relocate enum f2fs_cp_phase from include/trace/events/f2fs.h to fs/f2fs/f2fs.h,
  as requested by Chao Yu for better structure cleanup.
