<id>2d3a8497f8cc5aca14b722cd37d51f6c15ff9f74</id>
<content type='text'>
If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409  [001]   160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq-&gt;cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417  [000]   226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 +=
 8 [write_test]

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests.  This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

Since 2.6.31 now has request-based device-mapper, it's useful to have
a tracepoint for request-remapping as well as bio-remapping.
This patch adds a tracepoint for request-remapping, trace_block_rq_remap().

Booting 2.6.31 and executing

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [&lt;c032a583&gt;] ftrace_raw_event_block_bio_bounce+0x4b/0xb9

Apparently,
   bio = bio_map_user(q, NULL, uaddr, len, reading, gfp_mask);

still is NULL when an attempt is made to evaluate bio-&gt;bi_bdev-&gt;bd_dev

The tracepoint should ensure bio-&gt;bi_bdev is not dereferenced, if NULL.

<title>tracing/events: Move TRACE_SYSTEM outside of include guard</title>

If TRACE_INCLDUE_FILE is defined, &lt;trace/events/TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.h&gt;
will be included and compiled, otherwise it will be
&lt;trace/events/TRACE_SYSTEM.h&gt;

So TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if proctection,
just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

Imaging this scenario:

 #include &lt;trace/events/foo.h&gt;
    -&gt; TRACE_SYSTEM == foo
 ...
 #include &lt;trace/events/bar.h&gt;
    -&gt; TRACE_SYSTEM == bar
 ...
 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include &lt;trace/events/foo.h&gt;
    -&gt; TRACE_SYSTEM == bar !!!

and then bar.h will be included and compiled.
