Created attachment 367312 [details] move NFS_DEBUG definition While troubleshooting a problem in another case, I found that the dprintk macro wasn't working in some places. Not a critical problem but potentially confusing if/when we were to ask someone for nfs_debug info. This upstream patch fixes it and I think we should consider taking it for 5.5.
For instance, none of the dprintk's in fs/nfs/file.c actually work as it stands now. Again, not a critical issue, but something we should probably fix to make future debugging more robust. Testing this should be easy: Turn on nfs_debugging, do some operations and see if any of the dprintk's in file.c end up in dmesg.
