PATCH 1/1 DEBUG_KOBJECT vs. DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG

DEBUG_KOBJECT has no effect when DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set (and you can get the messages via that feature), so let's make it depend on !DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG.

DEBUG_KOBJECT has no effect when DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set (and you can get the messages via that feature), so let's make it depend on !DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG.

indeed. you raise the more general question of what do if both 'DEBUG' and 'CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG' are set for a file? I think that in general the 'DEBUG' should take precedence, as you point out. However, I think we should fix this by reshuffling the logic in include/linux/kernel.h by doing:

if (DEBUG)

	#define pr_debug printk
elseif (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG)
	#define pr_debug dynamic_pr_debug()
else
	#define pr_debug if (0) blah:

endif

make sense? what do you think?

thanks,

-Jason

Yes, that makes sense, I agree. I'll follow up with a patch.

#3 lore raw

PATCH 1/1 Make DEBUG take precedence over DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG.

Statically defined DEBUG should take precedence over dynamically enabled debugging; otherwise adding DEBUG (like, for example, via CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT) does not have the expected result of printing pr_debug() messages unconditionally.

looks good...if you want to also make the analogous change for 'dev_dbg()' in include/linux/device.h, I'll ack it.
