Running a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG kernel in production environments is not the best idea as it introduces significant overhead, can change the behaviour of algorithms (such as allocation) to improve test co
Hi Dave, Since this solution is for production environment, would it be valuable to have a sysctl variable to allow enabling/disabling XFS_WARN, as opposed to needing to recompile the module afresh ?
The idea is that distros enable it on the debug kernel packages rather than using CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y. Hence if someone has a problem, they just install the debug kernel and they get all this addition
Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking that CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG would be enabled in the distro's debug kernel and this new option is in addition to that. Hence, my question. So, with this new conf
If you are shipping a debug kernel with CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG, then you don't want your customers running that debug kernel for very long. CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG changes allocation algorithms to improve test co
