blktrace: fix comment in blktrace_api.h

2018-03-30T20:16:24+00:00

The `__u64 time` field of the blk_io_trace struct refers to the time in nanoseconds, not in microseconds. It is set in __blk_add_trace, which does the following: t->time = ktime_to_ns(ktime_get()); ktime_to_ns returns ktime_t in nanoseconds, not microseconds.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

blktrace: export cgroup info in trace

2017-07-29T15:00:03+00:00

Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples. This patch tries to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace for a specific cgroup. We add a new 'blk_cgroup' trace option for blk tracer. It's default off. Application which doesn't know the new option isn't affected. When it's on, we output fhandle info right after blk_io_trace with an extra bit set in event action. So from application point of view, blktrace with the option will output new actions. I didn't change blk trace event yet, since I'm not sure if changing the trace event output is an ABI issue. If not, I'll do it later.
