Hi, This patch-series is based on the initial patch posted by Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>. While debugging the driver and block layer this print message is very meaningful. Also, we centralize the REQ_OP_XXX to the string conversion in the blk-core.c so that other dependent subsystems can use this helper without having to duplicate the code e.g. f2fs, blk-mq-debugfs.c. Please consider this for 5.3. In case someone is interested please find the test log for print_err_req with null_blk, f2fs tracing and blk-mq-debugfs->blk_mq_debugfs_rq_show() at the end of this patch. Regards, Chaitanya Changes from V3:- 1. Use unsigned int for op parameter in the blk_op_str(). (Bart) 2. Keep Christoph's signed-off first in the first patch in the series. (Bart). 3. Merge patch 5-6. (Bart, Chao) 4. Just modify the show_bio_op() macro and with call to blk_op_str(). (Chao).
