From bc49af56eea866c34d21bf582f65b02fc8c06ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaitanya Kulkarni Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 20:34:23 -0700 Subject: blktrace: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES tracing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently, REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operations are not handled in the blktrace infrastructure, resulting in incorrect or missing operation labels in ftrace blktrace output. This manifests as write-zeroes operations appearing with incorrect labels like "N" instead of a proper "WZ" designation. This patch adds complete support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES across the blktrace infrastructure: Add BLK_TC_WRITE_ZEROES trace category in blktrace_api.h and update BLK_TC_END_V2 marker accordingly Map REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES to BLK_TC_WRITE_ZEROES in __blk_add_trace() to ensure proper trace event categorization Update fill_rwbs() to generate "WZ" label for write-zeroes operations in ftrace output, making them easily identifiable Add "write-zeroes" string mapping in act_to_str array for debugfs filter interface Update blk_fill_rwbs() to handle REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for block layer event tracing With this fix, write-zeroes operations are now correctly traced and displayed. =========================================================== BEFORE THIS PATCH =========================================================== blkdiscard -z -o 0 -l 40960 /dev/nvme0n1 blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253701: block_bio_queue: 259,0 NS 0 + 80 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253703: block_getrq: 259,0 NS 0 + 80 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253704: block_io_start: 259,0 NS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253704: block_plug: [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253706: block_unplug: [blkdiscard] 1 blkdiscard-3809 [030] ..... 1212.253706: block_rq_insert: 259,0 NS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [blkdiscard] kworker/30:1H-566 [030] ..... 1212.253726: block_rq_issue: 259,0 NS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [kworker/30:1H] -0 [030] d.h1. 1212.253957: block_rq_complete: 259,0 NS () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [0] -0 [030] dNh1. 1212.253960: block_io_done: 259,0 NS 0 () 0 + 0 none,0,0 [swapper/30] Trace Event Breakdown: Event | Device | Op | Sector | Sectors | Byte Size | Calculation block_bio_queue | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_getrq | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_io_start | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_insert | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_issue | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_complete | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_io_done | 259,0 | NS | 0 | 0 | 0 | Completion (no data) Total Bytes Transferred: Sectors: 80 Bytes: 80 × 512 = 40,960 bytes =========================================================== AFTER THIS PATCH =========================================================== blkdiscard -z -o 0 -l 40960 /dev/nvme0n1 blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989131: block_bio_queue: 259,0 WZS 0 + 80 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989134: block_getrq: 259,0 WZS 0 + 80 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989135: block_io_start: 259,0 WZS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989138: block_plug: [blkdiscard] blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989140: block_unplug: [blkdiscard] 1 blkdiscard-2477 [020] ..... 960.989141: block_rq_insert: 259,0 WZS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [blkdiscard] kworker/20:1H-736 [020] ..... 960.989166: block_rq_issue: 259,0 WZS 40960 () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [kworker/20:1H] -0 [020] d.h1. 960.989476: block_rq_complete: 259,0 WZS () 0 + 80 be,0,4 [0] -0 [020] dNh1. 960.989482: block_io_done: 259,0 WZS 0 () 0 + 0 none,0,0 [swapper/20] Trace Event Breakdown: Event | Device | Op | Sector | Sectors | Byte Size | Calculation block_bio_queue | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_getrq | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_io_start | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_insert | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_issue | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | 40960 | Direct from trace block_rq_complete | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 80 | - | 80 × 512 = 40,960 block_io_done | 259,0 | WZS | 0 | 0 | 0 | Completion (no data) Total Bytes Transferred: Sectors: 80 Bytes: 80 × 512 = 40,960 bytes Tested with ftrace blktrace on NVMe devices using blkdiscard with the -z (write-zeroes) flag.
