Not crazy about this solution, it seems a little fragile. And it's hard to know what the difference between bio_endio() and __bio_endio() is without looking at the code. I think it would be cleaner to mark a bio as going inflight, so that we can check this flag on completion. If it's never been in flight, don't trigger a completion event trace for it. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
