Subject: [PATCH 4/5] dyndbg: factor ddebug_match_desc out from ddebug_change (for demonstration only)
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 08:24:00 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260403142401.1387033-5-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260403142401.1387033-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com>
ddebug_change() is a big (~100 lines) function with a nested for loop.
The outer loop walks the per-module ddebug_tables list, and does
module stuff: it filters on a query's "module FOO*" and "class BAR",
failures here skip the entire inner loop.
The inner loop (60 lines) scans a module's descriptors. It starts
with a long block of filters on function, line, format, and the
validated "BAR" class (or the legacy/_DPRINTK_CLASS_DFLT).
These filters "continue" past pr_debugs that don't match the query
criteria, before it falls through the code below that counts matches,
then adjusts the flags and static-keys. This is unnecessarily hard to
think about.
So move the per-descriptor filter-block into a boolean function:
ddebug_match_desc(desc), and change each "continue" to "return false".
This puts a clear interface in place, so any future changes are either
inside, outside, or across this interface.
also fix checkpatch complaints about spaces and braces.
