Define as 32, which is is what BDEVNAME_SIZE is/was as well. This keeps
the user interface the same and gets rid of the difference between
kernel and user api here.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

This header file is of interest for user space programming, i.e.
for tools that process blktrace data.We would like to use it for a tool on-top of blktrace which processes
data provided by blktrace. For this purpose, it would be helpful
if the blktrace API would make it to /usr/include/linux.The git tree for the blktrace tools comes with its own copy of this header
file. I didn't manage to replace that copy with the file generated
by the patch below yet. A few more cleanups would be needed.
For example, the blktrace ioctl numbers, which are currently defined in
usr/include/fs.h, might need to be moved. Should be feasible, though.Signed-off-by: Sven Schuetz

This allows a user to annotate the blk trace stream: writing a suitable
message to {/sys/kernel/debug}/block//msg will have it propagated
into the trace stream.Signed-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle

Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks
being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the
same time. Make the buffers dynamically allocated when the trace
is setup and make them per-cpu instead.The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the
interface is mainly for small text notes. So shrink it to 128 bytes.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can
also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives),
not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop
tracing.This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the
sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like
for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i -Signed-off-by: Christof Schmitt

This patch provides more information concerning REMAP operations on block
IOs. The additional information provides clearer details at the user level,
and supports post-processing analysis in btt.o Adds in partition remaps on the same device.
o Fixed up the remap information in DM to be in the right order
o Sent up mapped-from and mapped-to device informationSigned-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

This adds a new timestamp message to blktrace, giving the timeofday when
we starting tracing. This helps user space correlate block trace events
with eg an application strace.This requires a (compatible) update to blkparse. The changed blkparse
is still able to process traces generated by older kernels, and older
versions of blkparse should silently ignore the new records (because
they have a pid of 0).Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch

Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
to block devices.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
