[PATCH v3 1/2] nfs: fix unused variable warning when CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is disabled

From: Sean Chang

Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 12:04:45 EST


When CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is disabled, the dprintk() macro expands to
an empty do-while loop. This causes variables used solely within
dprintk() calls to appear unused to the compiler, triggering
-Wunused-variable warnings.

Fix this by adding __maybe_unused to the affected variables. This
ensures the code builds cleanly across different configurations,
including RISC-V, ARM, and ARM64 allmodconfig, as verified in the
mailing list discussion.
