Debug logging can be more verbose than trace in the one-off cases, so I have a slightly different personal preference. But perhaps this is mainly relevant in the abnormal execution paths, and thus already covered.

Anyway, I agree with everything in this patch.

Acked-by: Morten Brørup <mb@smartsharesystems.com>

You might also consider mentioning the xyz_dump(FILE *f) functions such as rte_mempool_list_dump(FILE *f).

I find this type of semi-structured verbose dumping very useful for investigating the state of systems in production. Our debug CLI provides access to these _dump() functions, including some of our own, from various subsystems in the application.
