[Li Zefan]

This is the last round of fixes for blktrace, I hope.  :) 

Changelog v1 -> v2:
  - fix a bug in "blktrace: make classic output more classic",
    and rebase other patches.
  - re-order patches.
  - a new patch for filtering BLK_TN_MESSAGE


[PATCH v2 1/6] trace: make 'mem' argument of trace_seq_putmem() const
[PATCH v2 2/6] blktrace: make classic output more classic
[PATCH v2 3/6] blktrace: fix blk_probes_ref chaos
[PATCH v2 4/6] blktrace: fix memory leak when freeing struct blk_io_trace
[PATCH v2 5/6] blktrace: extract duplidate code

[PATCH v2 1/7] trace: make 'mem' argument of trace_seq_putmem() const

[Li Zefan]

I passed a const value to trace_seq_putmem(), and I got compile warning.

[PATCH v2 2/7] blktrace: make classic output more classic

[Li Zefan]

In the classic user-space blktrace, the output timestamp is sec.nsec
not sec.usec.

[PATCH v2 3/7] blktrace: fix blk_probes_ref chaos

[Li Zefan]

ioctl-based blktrace allocates bt and registers tracepoints when
ioctl(BLKTRACESETUP), and do all cleanups when ioctl(BLKTRACETEARDOWN).

while ftrace-based blktrace allocates/frees bt when:
  # echo 1/0 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable

and registers/unregisters tracepoints when:
  # echo blk/nop > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
or
  # echo 1/0 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_enable

The separatation of allocation and registeration causes 2 problems:
  1. current user-space blktrace still calls ioctl(TEARDOWN) when
     ioctl(SETUP) failed:
       # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable
       # blktrace /dev/sda
         BLKTRACESETUP: Device or resource busy
         ^C
     and now blk_probes_ref == -1

  2. Another way to make blk_probes_ref == -1:
     # plugin sdb && mount sdb1
     # echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/trace/enable
     # remove sdb

This patch does the allocation and registeration when writing
sdaX/trace/enable.

Some changes that should have been in this patch, went into [PATCH 4/7]..

Something went wrong when I made those patches.. :(

[Li Zefan]

This patch also prepares for the next patch, that prints out BLK_TN_MESSAGE.

[PATCH v2 7/7] blktrace: support filtering of BLK_TN_MESSAGE

[Li Zefan]

I found large bunk of the output of blktrace are BLK_TN_MESSAGE events:

 % blktrace -d /dev/sda -o - | blkparse -i - -o ~/blk.log
 (after some seconds)
 % cat ~/blk.log | wc -l
 69041
 % cat ~/blk.log | grep "m   N" | wc -l
 38232

It will be useful to be able to filter those events.

thanks Li!

I think we can do the following ordering. First apply the fixes:

> [PATCH v2 1/6] trace: make 'mem' argument of trace_seq_putmem() const
> [PATCH v2 3/6] blktrace: fix blk_probes_ref chaos
> [PATCH v2 4/6] blktrace: fix memory leak when freeing struct blk_io_trace

These mostly relate to mixed use of ioctl and ftrace based block 
tracing - which is rare but indeed possible. The fixes and cleanups 
you did to refcounting look good.

These bits:

> [PATCH v2 2/6] blktrace: make classic output more classic
> [PATCH v2 5/6] blktrace: extract duplidate code
> [PATCH v2 6/6] blktrace: print out BLK_TN_MESSAGE properly

are optional improvements. The BLK_TN_MESSAGE filter addition - 
Jens, are you fine with that feature addition? (it certainly looks 
like a nice thing to me.)

Also, note that we'll get even more in-kernel filtering capabilities 
in blktrace if we convert the tracepoints to TRACE_EVENT().

Li, Jens - what's your call for v2.6.30, can the blktrace changes go 
upstream or should i zap the whole thing?

There are no new -tip test failures here so it's green as far as i'm 
concerned. It's holding up the tracing tree so we need to decide one 
way or another.

Thanks,

It should be find to merge tip/blktrace into .30, and we still have 2
month to fix remaining bugs, if any.

ok.

Although regarding instrumentation patches we carry in -tip we aim 
to enforce perfect stability right at the point of the merge window. 

One major point of instrumentation is to find kernel bugs ... and 
it's self-defeating if instrumentation is buggy itself! By the time 
the stable kernel is released the most important kernel bugs are 
fixed already so having stable instrumentation by that moment is too 
late.

So we've got extensive self-tests and other measures in place to 
ensure stability.

( The mixed blktrace ioctl/ftrace plugin usage model fell a bit
  outside of the expectation of these stability tests though, hence
  this relatively slow and late stabilization curve there. It still 
  looks all fine for .30 to me too. )
