After bio splitting is introduced, one bio can be splitted
and it is marked as NOMERGE because it is too fat to be merged,

"This is the big pull request for adding cgroup writeback support.
This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been

A previous commit wanted to make CFQ default to IOPS mode on
non-rotational storage, however it did so when the queue was
initialized and the non-rotational flag is only set later on
in the probe.
Add an elevator hook that gets called off the add_disk() path,
at that point we know that feature probing has finished, and
we can reliably check for the various flags that drivers can
set.

commit 6d113398dc
Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: Mon Feb 24 16:39:54 2014 +0100
block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq
and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.
Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
which happens long before any potential completion of the
request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
been reused for the IPI completion.

This is caused by a race between md device initialization by multipathd and
shell script to switch the scheduler using sysfs.
- multipathd:
SyS_ioctl -> do_vfs_ioctl -> dm_ctl_ioctl -> ctl_ioctl -> table_load
-> dm_setup_md_queue -> blk_init_allocated_queue -> elevator_init
q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, e); // not yet initialized
- sh -c 'echo deadline > /sys/$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler':
elevator_switch (in the call trace above)
struct elevator_queue *old = q->elevator;
q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, new_e);
elevator_exit(old); // lockup! (*)
- multipathd: (cont.)
err = e->ops.elevator_init_fn(q); // init fails; q->elevator is modified
(*) When del_timer_sync() is called, lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely
while timer->base == NULL. In this case, as timer will never initialized,
it results in lockup.
This patch introduces acquisition of q->sysfs_lock around elevator_init()
into blk_init_allocated_queue(), to provide mutual exclusion between
initialization of the q->scheduler and switching of the scheduler.
This should fix this bugzilla:

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
->elevator_data.
For example:
Thread A: Thread B
blk_queu_bio elevator_switch
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc
elv_merge elevator_init_fn
Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.
Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
operations in a atomic operation.
Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done
The test method also use this method.

- Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.
- Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to
be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is
achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new
block device is initialized and the elevator is not available.
This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module
init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes
request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs
async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which
is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to
deadlock.
Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is
already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from
the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init
path.
The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is
loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand
loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the
module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior
difference should be minimal.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814
v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with
request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because
request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it
causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.
v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test
robot.

Switch elevator to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the
amount of generic unrelated code in the elevator.
This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The size of the table is
constant so there's no point in paying the price of an extra dereference when accessing
it.
This patch depends on d9b482c ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive
hashtable") which was merged in v3.6.

All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues.
Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core
updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root
blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with
half-broken in-place root blkg updates. In addition to being buggy
and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those
events.
Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary
implementation with proper per-queue policy activation. Each blkcg
policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and
disable the policy on a specific queue. blkcg_activate_policy()
allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing
blkgs. blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse. If a policy is
not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip
the respective blkg for the queue.
blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and
cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly.
This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd()
unnecessary. Dropped.
v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group
alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. Fixed.

IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.
For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.
Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.
This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.
It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.
elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.
This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will
implement the support.
-v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in
rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.
This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.
As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.
-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed.
Both pointed out by Vivek.
-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke
update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with
proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek.

With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.
This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group. The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.
This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing. This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists). Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies. Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.
Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates. Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.
* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
unification requires this behavior change. This means that
blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
individual policies with request_queues.
* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition.
Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
disabled
-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
lost. Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying. This kludge will
soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.
blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
td->root_tg.
Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.
-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
initialized queues (used by later change).

Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new
elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if
initializing the new elevator fails for some reason. Unfortunately,
with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and
exit paths too complex and fragile.
This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and
flush icq's before start initializing the new one. As we still keep
the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on
rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all.
Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to
elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they
always can use the current elevator.
This patch enables block cgroup cleanups.

test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the

elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two

With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator
operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
- in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.
Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.
Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field
io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new
field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the

Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried

request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
new one will.
This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
reference.
With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
in-flight IOs.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.
Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on
timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.
The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete,
reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown
happens on release.
This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
behave as proper shutdown.
* QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
queue_lock.
* Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
after the check.
* blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
now called during cleanup.
* blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
released.

Hi, Jens,
If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279
The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of
async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out
other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both
cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start
dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been
dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all,
and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which
allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right,
though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I
think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices
in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the
starvation issue. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Jeff

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

This merge creates two set of conflicts. One is simple context
conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in
for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in
for-2.6.39/core.
The other is caused by commit 255bb490c8 (block: blk-flush shouldn't
call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus
crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core. The conflict
isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward.
* __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io()
should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true.
* elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use
%ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE.
Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from
request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit
255bb490c8.

__blk_run_queue() automatically either calls q->request_fn() directly
or schedules kblockd depending on whether the function is recursed.
blk-flush implementation needs to be able to explicitly choose
kblockd. Add @force_kblockd.
All the current users are converted to specify %false for the
parameter and this patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.
stable: This is prerequisite for fixing ide oops caused by the new
blk-flush implementation.

The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
which had to perform queue draining. As such, sequencing is done
queue-wide one flush request after another. However, with the
draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
sequential approach.
This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
request is sequenced individually. The actual FLUSH execution is
double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue. Once certain
conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.
This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes. How they
are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
flush.
This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.
* As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
used for flush share space with rq->rb_node. rq->completion_data is
moved out of the union. This increases the request size by one
pointer.
As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
possible to reduce the request size further. However, to do that,
we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
not allocated for flush requests.
* FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.

at this point is:

- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been

2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.
But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
like this:

Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests
around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes
themselves should be handled by block layers. This patch drops
barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer. Ordering by
draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling.
List of notable changes follow.
* Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue.
This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the
current barrier or not. REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring
implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed.
* Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled
by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test
result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq().
This logic is removed.
* Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed.
* All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then
trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining
request orders during requeue was necessary. This is replaced by
queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the
current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which
removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue
and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of
elv_insert().
* As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to
dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier.
Insert barriers at the front instead.
* If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue
while one is already in progress, they are stored in
q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after
each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb,
elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator
pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that.
- It will only work at initialization time, since using the
above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue.
So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert
the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem

missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've

In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels,
some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such

This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I

* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce

* potentially better optimized code as the compiler

Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast
settings. This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were
merged into failfast requests for readahead.
Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when
resuming from STR. ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and
combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during
resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would
fail causing ext4 errors. Please read the following thread for
details.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21
This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings
don't match. This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by
preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead
requests. Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors
correctly will be added later.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out
Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace:

I found one more mis-conversion to the 'request is always dequeued
when completing' model in elv_abort_queue() during code inspection.
Although I haven't hit any problem caused by this mis-conversion yet
and just done compile/boot test, please apply if you have no problem.
Request must be dequeued when it completes.
However, elv_abort_queue() completes requests without dequeueing.
This will cause oops in the __blk_end_request_all().
This patch fixes the oops.

Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs.
However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum
request size, etc. are queue properties.
This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices. The elevator
code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O
scheduler.

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields. Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.
While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

Impact: code reorganization
elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer
interface than actual elevator implementation. They mostly deal with
how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the
beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the
actual eleveator request fetching interface.
Move the two functions to blk-core.c. This prepares for further
interface cleanup.

blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it
doesn't check for recursion. None of the current users depends on
blk_start_queueing() running request_fn directly. Replace usages of
blk_start_queueing() with [__]blk_run_queue() and kill it.

Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to
complete it without letting the low level driver see it.
With previous changes, barrier code is now flexible enough to skip the
BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism. Drop
the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered().
Remove blk_empty_barrier() test which now has no user.

Barrier completion had the following assumptions.
* start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all
actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual
completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request.
* Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's
always at least one request in the queue when drain completes.
Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to
improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following
changes.
* Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped
steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch
the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside
start_ordered().
* Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether
the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion.
* While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.
Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().
