Hi, This patch-series is based on the initial patch posted by Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>. I've added one more patch to improve print message. While debugging the driver and block layer this print message is very handy. Please consider this for 5.3. Following is the sample error message with forced REQ_OP_WRITE, REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES and REQ_OP_DISCARD failure from modified null_blk for testing :- blk_update_request: I/O error, dev nullb0, sector 0 op 0x9:(WRITE_ZEROES) flags 0x400800 phys_seg 0 prio class 0 blk_update_request: I/O error, dev nullb0, sector 0 op 0x3:(DISCARD) flags 0x800 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 blk_update_request: I/O error, dev nullb0, sector 0 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 I've fixed all the review comments except the one for which we want to use the newly added function in the include/trace/events/f2fs.h as f2fs code is highly coupled with the tracing structures. I'll make a separate patch for that change as needed. Thanks, -Chaitanya Changes from V1:- 1. Get rid of the function switch case and use the passtern similar to block/blk-mq-debuffs.c(Bart).
