[PATCH v2 0/9] nbd: cleanups

[PATCH v2 0/9] nbd: cleanups

[Markus Pargmann]

Hi,

v2 fixes the dev_dbg outputs to contain the device name only once.

For the moment I would prefer to use dev_dbg instead of the previous
implementation of categorized outputs as it seems more flexible without code
modification. As soon as there is a generic framework for categorized dev_dbg
I am happy to use that.

Patch 3 removes the internal kernel header of nbd as it is only used for nbd.c.
We can define the device struct at the top of nbd.c instead.
Patch 6 replaces the previously used dprint macro with dev_dbg. dev_dbg()
should work as well as dprint did.

The other patches change some minor things.

Best Regards,

Markus

[PATCH v2 4/9] nbd: Replace kthread_create with kthread_run

[Markus Pargmann]

kthread_run includes the wake_up_process() call, so instead of
kthread_create() followed by wake_up_process() we can use this macro.

[PATCH v2 6/9] nbd: Restructure debugging prints

[Markus Pargmann]

dprintk has some name collisions with other frameworks and drivers. It
is also not necessary to have these custom debug print filters. Dynamic
debug offers the same amount of filtered debugging.

This patch replaces all dprintks with dev_dbg(). It also removes the
ioctl dprintk which prints the ingoing ioctls which should be
replaceable by strace or similar stuff.

Signed-off-by: Markus Pargmann <mpa@pengutronix.de>

Notes:
    Changes in v2:
     - The device name was written twice in each print. This is fixed by removing
       the explicit print of the disk name.
     - dev_dbg() in do_nbd_request() was moved to have a valid nbd pointer
