ok, I haven't noticed that. thanks for the info.

I am sorry, but I made a mistake. BIO_RW_DISCARD is a enum for bit offset.
So the right check should be rw & (1 << BIO_RW_DISCARD).
I have regenerated the patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Tao

Subject: [PATCH v2] block: Don't count_vm_events for discard bio in submit_bio.

In submit_bio, we count vm events by check READ/WRITE.
But actually DISCARD_NOBARRIER also has the WRITE flag set.
It looks as if in blkdev_issue_discard, we also add a
page as the payload and the bio_has_data check isn't enough.
So add another check for discard bio.
