Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/5] f2fs: optimize trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint with enums
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 09:01:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704130106.828918-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260704130106.828918-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: YH Lin <yhli@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 8d1cb17aca466b361cca17834b8bb1cf3e3d1818 ]
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.
