similar to: [RFC][PATCH -mm] blktrace: adds ioprio to blktrace

the -k option was missing from the usage() output and was present only in the man page synopsis. Say a few more words about it.

I keep reading that RHEL/CentOS 5 supports blktrace, but I can't seem to find the blktrace/blkparse utilities. Is it that just the functionality is available in the kernel, but the user is left to have to hunt down the latest versions of the utilities on the net? If anybody knows where to get the latest versions of these utilities I would greatly appreciate it. Ross S. W. Walker

This patch introcude cfq_cgroup structure which is type for group control within expanded CFQ scheduler. In addition, the cfq_cgroup structure has "ioprio" entry which is preference of group for I/O.

Ok, I got blktrace installed, but I also have some blktrace system taps that I want to test out, but it seems I need to have the kernel debug info installed to get systemtap working. Anyone know where the CentOS kernel-debuginfo RPMs are located? Ross S. W.

Hi, this is about an issue newer kernels show, bysplitting direct I/O requests into 4k pieces to directly merge them in the Block Device Layer afterwards. If anyone is interested in own tests just use a simple command like dd if=/mnt/test/test-dd1 of=/dev/null iflag=direct bs=64k count=1 in combination with blktrace. The following patch is more a proposal for discussion than a solution, well

Andrew, can you please send this on to Linus and -stable ASAP? It's causing massive problems for our users.
