[PATCH v3 0/3] sunrpc/nfs: cleanup redundant debug checks and refactor macros

[PATCH v3 0/3] sunrpc/nfs: cleanup redundant debug checks and refactor macros

[Sean Chang]

This series cleans up redundant IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG) guards 
across sunrpc, nfsd, and lockd, as these checks are already handled 
within the dprintk macros.

Additionally, it refactors the nfs_errorf() macros into a safer 
do-while(0) pattern and removes unused nfs_warnf() macros to improve 
code maintainability.

v3:
- Added nfs_errorf refactoring and removed unused nfs_warnf macros.
- Split sunrpc and nfsd changes for better clarity.

v2:
 - Follow reversed xmas tree order for variables in svc_rdma_transport.c
   as requested by Andy Shevchenko.
 - Polish commit message: use dprintk() and remove redundant file list.
 - Correct the technical claim about dprintk() type checking.

[PATCH v3 1/3] nfsd/lockd: Remove redundant debug checks

[Sean Chang]

Remove unnecessary IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG) guards and #ifdefs
in nfsfh.c and svclock.c.

Verification with .lst files under -O2 confirms that the compiler
successfully performs "dead code elimination". Even when variables
(like char buf[] in nfsfh.c) or static helper functions (like
nlmdbg_cookie2a() in svclock.c) are declared without #ifdef, they are
completely optimized out (no stack allocation, no symbol references in
the final executable) as they are only referenced within no_printk().

[PATCH v3 2/3] svcrdma: remove redundant IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG) guards

[Sean Chang]

Remove redundant IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG) guards in
svc_rdma_accept(). Since dprintk() already evaluates to a no-op
(via no_printk) when debugging is disabled, these explicit guards
are unnecessary.

Verification with .lst files under -O2 confirms that the compiler
successfully performs "dead code elimination". Even when variables
(like 'sap' in this case) are declared outside of #ifdef, they are
completely optimized out (no stack allocation, no symbol references
in the final executable) as they are only referenced within dprintk().

[PATCH v3 3/3] nfs: refactor nfs_errorf macros and remove unused ones

[Sean Chang]

refactor nfs_errorf() and nfs_ferrorf() to the standard do-while(0)
pattern for safer macro expansion and kernel style compliance.

additionally, remove nfs_warnf() and nfs_fwarnf() as git grep
confirms they have no callers in the current tree.

I initially only refactored nfs_errorf because it doesn't return a value.
For nfs_invalf, it will always return -EINVAL. Would you prefer me to
refactor it using the ({ ... }) statement expression pattern to keep the
return value, or is it better to leave it as is ?

#define nfs_invalf(fc, fmt, ...) ({            \
    if ((fc)->log.log)                \
        invalf(fc, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__);    \
    else                        \
        dfprintk(fac, fmt "\n", ## __VA_ARGS__);\
    -EINVAL;                    \
})

I don't think in this case it improves the situation. Yeah, it's unfortunate.

I believe this already has an error code inside, that's why it's only added to
the 'else' branch.

Okay, let's go with your original approach (ideally these all probably should
be replaced by static inline:s).

Shall we also revert the commit ebae102897e7 ("nfsd: Mark variable

Regarding the Sparse warnings in super.c and the trace header errors,
I've noted them down. I'll look into them separately and may submit a

That's a great catch. I've verified that with the new dprintk() refactoring,
those __maybe_unused attributes are indeed redundant. I will include a
new patch in v4 to remove them and properly credit the cleanup. Thanks!
