It's just that this patch as it stands will break the existing tools

Will it break blktrace? Looking at the code, not tested though, it
will just add one more 'C' line for bounced bio, and that's it? The
blktrace will get way more 'C' lines for normal request based
devices and it needs to be handled anyway. Am I missing something?
Hmmm... maybe I'm confused. Wouldn't it cause duplicate completions
for all rq based drivers too?
Yes, blktrace will see both of completions for rq and bio's it contains
from now on, and I thought it's your intention? For the bounced bio's,
it'll see one more completion per bio.
The users of older blktrace might get confused by this, thus changing
the tool is inevitable regardless of the bounced bio's.
Thanks,
Namhyung
