    Description

      I'm having trouble filtering the kernel debug logs.The manual says that the command "lctl filter all_types" should remove all lines from the output of the debug log, but it does not filter anything.

      For example, running the following on an MDS:

      # lctl filter all_types
      Disabling output of type "trace"
      Disabling output of type "inode"
      Disabling output of type "super"
      Disabling output of type "ext2"
      Disabling output of type "malloc"
      Disabling output of type "cache"
      Disabling output of type "info"
      Disabling output of type "ioctl"
      Disabling output of type "neterror"
      Disabling output of type "net"
      Disabling output of type "warning"
      Disabling output of type "buffs"
      Disabling output of type "other"
      Disabling output of type "dentry"
      Disabling output of type "nettrace"
      Disabling output of type "page"
      Disabling output of type "dlmtrace"
      Disabling output of type "error"
      Disabling output of type "emerg"
      Disabling output of type "ha"
      Disabling output of type "rpctrace"
      Disabling output of type "vfstrace"
      Disabling output of type "reada"
      Disabling output of type "mmap"
      Disabling output of type "config"
      Disabling output of type "console"
      Disabling output of type "quota"
      Disabling output of type "sec"
      Disabling output of type "lfsck"
      Disabling output of type "hsm"
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 3850 lines, 3850 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 255 lines, 255 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      # lctl get_param debug
      debug=
      super ioctl neterror warning dlmtrace error emerg ha rpctrace vfstrace config console lfsck
      

      Some lines from the output should be dropped from the logs.

      Maybe just the "all_types" flag is broken, but specifying individual types does not work:

      # lctl filter vfstrace
      Disabling output of type "vfstrace"
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 1743 lines, 1743 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 66 lines, 66 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      # lctl filter warning
      Disabling output of type "warning"
      # lctl filter ioctl
      Disabling output of type "ioctl"
      # lctl filter super
      Disabling output of type "super"
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 765 lines, 765 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      # lctl debug_kernel /tmp/log_lfsck_2
      Debug log: 66 lines, 66 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      

      No messages are dropped from the log output.

      I tried using "lctl debug_daemon start" and lctl debug_daemon stop" and "lctl debug_file" to output and filter the logs, but no lines were filtered:

      # lctl debug_daemon start /tmp/log_test1
      # lctl filter all_types
      Disabling output of type "trace"
      Disabling output of type "inode"
      ...
      # lctl show lfsck
      Enabling output from subsystem "lfsck"
      Enabling output of type "lfsck"
      # lctl show trace
      Enabling output of type "trace"
      # lctl lfsck_start -M scratch-MDT0000 -type layout
      Started LFSCK on the device scratch-MDT0000: scrub layout namespace
      # lctl debug_daemon stop 
      # lctl debug_file /tmp/log_test1 log_filtered
      Debug log: 18532 lines, 18532 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      [root@mds01 tmp]# lctl filter lfsck
      Disabling output from subsystem "lfsck"
      Disabling output of type "lfsck"
      [root@mds01 tmp]# lctl debug_file /tmp/log_test1 log_filtered
      Debug log: 18532 lines, 18532 kept, 0 dropped, 0 bad.
      

      No lines are dropped even though I know there are lfsck messages in the log file /tmp/log_test1.
