It's been a while - trying to resurrect this now.

To combine addressing your request + consistency with existing knobs (all of which are dedicated for guc-relay-logging), I'll go ahead and change it to guc_log_relay_subbuf_size_get and guc_log_relay_subbuf_count_get. > > > +static int guc_log_relay_buf_size_get(void *data, u64 *val) > > +{ > > + struct intel_guc_log *log = data; > > + > > + if (!log) > > + return -ENODEV; > > + if (!log->vma) > > + return -ENODEV; > > Why are these checks needed?

I'll have to retest this and see if its something to care about or consider as a user error. But even there, we can shorten it to if(!log->vma) as the minimum. (of course even if there was a bug, the debugfs path should eventually get released as part of the i915 unload but just a tiny bit later after the guc resources are freed). Same comment here applies to two more comments you provided. Needs to be tested. > Alan: [snip]
