Hello Dave,

The following kernel commit changes the member "rq" to member
"root_rl" in the request_queue structure:

commit a051661ca6d134c18599498b185b667859d4339b
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Jun 26 15:05:44 2012 -0700
     blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocation
-       struct request_list     rq;
+       struct request_list     root_rl;

This breaks the "dev -d" crash command:

crash> dev -d
MAJOR GENDISK            NAME       REQUEST QUEUE      TOTAL ASYNC
  SYNC   DRV
dev: invalid structure member offset: request_queue_rq
      FILE: dev.c  LINE: 3807  FUNCTION: get_diskio_1()
   80116438: OFFSET_verify+96
   800f55da: get_diskio_1+62
   800f5c52: display_all_diskio+1318
   8006ff1c: exec_command+972
dev: invalid structure member offset: request_queue_rq
      FILE: dev.c  LINE: 3807  FUNCTION: get_diskio_1()

The following fix just uses "root_rl" instead of "rq". Not completely sure, if
this is sufficient.

With the fix on my s390 system I get:

crash> dev -d
MAJOR GENDISK            NAME       REQUEST QUEUE      TOTAL ASYNC   SYNC   DRV
    94 0x1ea144a8         dasda      0x1ebcc2b8             0     0    0     0
     9 0x1e93d9c8         md0        0x1ebcb560             0     0    0     0

The patch works OK for me, and I suppose that there are simply no I/O's
in progress.

I wish that the authors of crash utility options would keep an eye on their
own patches, and that that this would have been caught earlier.  I'll also
remove those prepended "0x"'s from the addresses -- I'm surprised I letthat
slip in when the patch was originally proposed.  (I'd actually forgotten that
the option even existed...)

Thanks,
   Dave

Michael, thanks for the quick fix, appreciate it very much.

@all: Does above upstream commit in kernel 3.6 mean that, for such kernel versions, "dev -d" would only show the request stats of the root block cgroup but not of any of the now additionally possible individual blkcgs?
If so, should we mention this in the option help?
