For this debugging stuff, you could look at using the trace events
infrastructure, which gives very fine control over what output is
enabled and overall is pretty awesome.  You can look in
include/trace/events for examples, eg look at
include/trace/events/ext4.h and then look in fs/ext4 to see where
trace_ext4_xxx() functions get called.
