Re: [PATCH] blktrace: Use rq->cmd_flags directly in blk_add_trace_rq.

Hi Jens and Jeff,
any comment for this?
It should be similar as patch 2d3a8497, but a fix to the real blktrace.

Regards,
Tao

In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.

For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776503 7509 A WS 1349632 + 1024<- (8,17) 1347584
8,16 1 2 0.001776813 7509 Q WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 3 0.001780395 7509 G WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 5 0.001783186 7509 I W 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 11 0.001816987 7509 D W 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 0 2 0.006218192 0 C W 1349632 + 1024 [0]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776900 5425 A WS 1189888 + 1024<- (8,17) 1187840
8,16 1 2 0.001777179 5425 Q WS 1189888 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 3 0.001780797 5425 G WS 1189888 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 5 0.001783402 5425 I WS 1189888 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 11 0.001817468 5425 D WS 1189888 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 0 2 0.005640709 0 C WS 1189888 + 1024 [0]
