Hi all:
At present,I wanted to use blktrace.So I readed source and founded the problem.
Following is my step:
1:mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
2:blktrace -d /dev/sdb &
$pid
3:kill -9 $pid
I found some file in /sys/kernel/debug/block.
If a btrace is ruing,but I call ioctl(BLKTRACETEARDOWN)
case BLKTRACETEARDOWN:
ret = blk_trace_remove(q);
int blk_trace_remove(struct request_queue *q)
297 {
298 struct blk_trace *bt;
299
300 bt = xchg(&q->blk_trace, NULL);
301 if (!bt)
302 return -EINVAL;
303
304 if (bt->trace_state != Blktrace_running)
305 blk_trace_cleanup(bt);
306
307 return 0;
308 }
But the btrace is in blktrace_running, so bt did not cleanup.
When and Who cleanup btrace?
