Will do; sorry the code got a bit confusing. The goal is to track
which sub-components in a data structure we need to display. The
"depth" variable tracks where we are currently; "depth_shown"
is the depth at which we have something nonzer to display (perhaps
"depth_to_show" would be a better name?). "depth_check" tells
us whether we are currently checking depth or doing printing.
If we're checking, we don't actually print anything, we merely note
if we hit a non-zero value, and if so, we set "depth_shown"
to the depth at which we hit that value.
When we show a struct, union or array, we will only display an
object has one or more non-zero members. But because
the struct can in turn nest a struct or array etc, we need
to recurse into the object. When we are doing that, depth_check
is set, and this tells us not to do any actual display. When
that recursion is complete, we check if "depth_shown" (depth
to show) is > depth (i.e. we found something) and if it is
we go on to display the object (setting depth_check to 0).
There may be a better way to solve this problem of course,
but I wanted to avoid storing values where possible as
deeply-nested data structures might overrun such storage.

Yeah, I couldn't find a good length to use here. We
eliminate qualifiers such as "const" in the display, so
it's unlikely we'd overrun.

I'm not totally sure I understand the question so I'll
try and describe how the above is supposed to work. I
think there's a bug here alright.
In the above case, when we reach the "m" field of "struct t",
the code should start with the BTF_KIND_ARRAY, set up
the array suffix, then get the array type which is a PTR
and we will set up the ptr suffix to be "*" and we set
the id to the id associated with "int", and
btf_type_skip_qualifiers() will use that id to look up
the new value for the type used in btf_name_by_offset().
So on the next iteration we hit the int itself and bail from
the loop, having noted that we've got a _PTR and _ARRAY set in
the "kinds" bitfield.
Then we look up the int type using "t" with btf_name_by_offset,
so we end up displaying "(int *m[])" as the type.
However the code assumes we don't need the parentheses for
the array if we have encountered a pointer; that's never
the case. We only should eliminate the opening parens
for a struct or union "{" in such cases, as in those cases
we have a pointer to the struct rather than a nested struct.
So that needs to be fixed. Are the other problems here you're
seeing that the above doesn't cover?

This is wrong for the example case you gave, as we don't want to
eliminate the opening array parentheses for an array of pointers.

I should probably change the logic to ensure all chars
(before a \0) are printable. I'll do that for v2. We will always
have cases (e.g. the skb cb[] field) where the char[] is not
intended as a string, but I think the utility of showing them as
strings where possible is worthwhile.
Thanks again for reviewing!
