Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.

From: Tao Ma <[email protected]>

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + 8 [write_test]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 + 8 [write_test]

Looks good to me. It looks like the limited number of flags passed
through was simply an oversight (going back even to when the bio and
request flags were not merged, there was still special casing for
discard, at least).

Anywho...

Thanks, I applied this to for-linus so we can sneak it into 2.6.38
hopefully.
