NAME
probe::ioblock.request - Fires whenever making a generic block I/O request.

SYNOPSIS

ioblock.request

VALUES

devname
    block device name

bdev_contains
    points to the device object which contains the partition (when bio structure represents a partition)

name
    name of the probe point

size
    total size in bytes

opf
    operations and flags

vcnt
    bio vector count which represents number of array element (page, offset, length) which make up this I/O request

flags
    see below BIO_UPTODATE 0 ok after I/O completion BIO_RW_BLOCK 1 RW_AHEAD set, and read/write would block BIO_EOF 2 out-out-bounds error BIO_SEG_VALID 3 nr_hw_seg valid BIO_CLONED 4 doesn't own data BIO_BOUNCED 5 bio is a bounce bio BIO_USER_MAPPED 6 contains user pages BIO_EOPNOTSUPP 7 not supported

sector
    beginning sector for the entire bio

phys_segments
    number of segments in this bio after physical address coalescing is performed

idx
    offset into the bio vector array

bdev
    target block device

p_start_sect
    points to the start sector of the partition structure of the device

ino
    i-node number of the mapped file

rw
    binary trace for read/write request

hw_segments
