Subject: [PATCH] blkparse: man - Elaborate definitions of RWBS fields.
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 21:17:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170815211752.9643-1-rgoldwyn@suse.de> (raw)

The RWBS fields can output more fields, which need detailed description.
This information is extracted from fill_rwbs() function. If there is more
to it, I'd be happy to include it.

I did not see Barrier Operations in the fill_rwbs() function. Also,
Flush and FUA have the same code, F. Besides, I am not sure if the N
field's description is correct.
