From: Eryu Guan <eguan@linux.alibaba.com>

Introduce "-o log_level=" command line option to specify current log
level (priority), valid values are "debug info warn err", e.g.

    ./virtiofsd -o log_level=debug ...

So only log priority higher than "debug" will be printed to
stderr/syslog. And the default level is info.

The "-o debug"/"-d" options are kept, and imply debug log level.

Why do we need to add these headers if there are no code changes in this
file ?

Removing all the 'if (se->debug)' checks means that we take the
performance hit of calling many logging functions in the common
case where debug is disabled. Hopefully 'fuse_log' is smart
enough to avoid printf formatting of the msg + args unless
it is actually goiing to output the message

Daniel

Thanks, those are left overs from an earlier version; I've deleted them now.

It is; we go through fuse_log (fuse_log.c an imported file) that just
does the va_start and then calls the log_func that was set later in this
patch and the first thing it does is check the level and exit.
