Is it your intent to entirely get rid of ckpt_debug() ?

We originally discussed two levels of details: only error status
or a detailed log (and we also thought of a detailed debug, that can
be compiled out to save space). How does that fit with the patch(es) ?

To "define" what's "error status" and what's "log" (and maybe what's
"debug"), I suggest a test like:

1) error status: what conveys the most specific reason of failure,
e.g. "failed to open file to restore fd";  The caller should be able
to assume that the total message(s) length will not exceed a pipe
buffer.

2) log status: that gives status about progress, or what lead to and
what followed an error, e.g. file open failure may have happened
when restoring a file descriptor, or when restore a vma, so a log
like "failed to restore vma" would be helpful.

3) debug status: that we want to be able to compile out without having
to reintroduce it for every bug that it may help us debug.

What is the purpose in passing '0' instead of -ENOMEM to ckpt_err() ?
(a few more instances below).

(#3) - The only error in wait_sync_threads() can be EINTR, so this
is only necessary for our debugging.

Ditto (it could also be EBUSY - but there are ckpt_debug() statements
there).

I'd assume that restore_task() will already have reported a specific
error that caused the failure. So we can save on code size but not
compiling this in when non-debug.

This is called with tasklist_lock taken...

And here too.

There are similar comments also below.

Are you still concerned about the increase in code size with c/r ?
