Hi Bart,

here's something i've been wanting to do for a long time: debugging macros. The
reason for it is that i got tired of adding debug printk's everytime i'm testing
something so here we go.

The debugging macro is similar to the old ones but is one for all drivers
(currently only ide-floppy), is nice on branch prediction and is controlled by a
drive->debug_mask switch which is a module parameter and as such can be set at
module load time, of course. I've been thinking of adding also a sysfs attribute
too but can't seem to find quite the justification for it so no sysfs for now :)

In addition, one can still optimize away all the debug calls in the old manner
and i'm sure those will be removed completely too when ide generic conversion is
done.

Please tell me what you think, what can be changed/improved and after we've
figured out the details I'll do the other drivers too.

Thanks.

Introduce to_ide_dev() and ide_drv_g() macros and replace the respective
definitions of similar ones in each driver.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.

Add __ide_debug_log() debugging macro which is controlled by drive->debug_mask.
The macro has to have the macro DRV_NAME defined in each driver before use.
Also, add different debugging levels depending on the functionality debugged.

Also:

- leave in the possibility for optimizing away all debugging macros
- add a PFX macro and prepend all printk calls with it for consistency
- change idefloppy_create_rw_cmd's 1st arg from idefloppy_floppy_t * to
ide_drive_t *.
- add a missing printk-level in idefloppy_init
- fix minor checkpatch warnings

Shouldn't a debug printk use KERN_DEBUG?

Yes, it should. However, i'm going to have to change the default console
loglevel to see those, aka boot with loglevel=7 and there's the possibility of
other debug messages getting in the way too. Instead, the debugging messages
here are enabled only when you do a debug build of the driver _and_ when enable
them through the debug_mask so you get to see debug messages only you're
interested in without changing anything else in the kernel boot.

if you look closely you should already find it :)

[ module parameters are exported through sysfs and it uses 0644 mask ]

Looks pretty good to me (after quick look) and I applied to pata tree.

PS I wonder whether we may also want to have global debug_mask for core code
messages ('drive' is not always available) in the longer-term.  Or maybe even
only global debug_mask for both core code and driver messages?

Thanks,
Bart

Together with sysfs device-driver binding/unbinding support it
can probably substitute for lack of sysfs attribute for now. ;)

Anyway adding a proper device sysfs attribute will be trivial
(ide_dev_attrs[]) but lets wait with it until things settle down.

Thanks,
Bart

Those I saw. (You mean /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-cdrom/, for example, right?)
But if so, those come from the gen_driver's ide_bus_type and those are device
attributes and I was thinking of adding ide_bus_type.drv_attrs which are driver-
and not device-specific but since i haven't read into the sysfs code too much
yet this is my hunch what we should do.

Let me answer you with a question :) : is a u64 bitmask going to be enough for
all the debugging levels, both core and drivers ? The way I see it, hmm, probably ...

Aah, i get it now, it's /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-floppy/module/parameters/debug_mask.
However, it'd be better if it were /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-floppy/debug_mask.
Probably a symlink or a true /sysfs parameter? Maybe later :).
