The existing code in the bio_check_ro() relies on the op_is_write(). op_is_write() checks for the last bit in the bio_op(). Now that we have multiple REQ_OP_XXX with last bit set to 1 such as, (from blk_types.h): /* write sectors to the device */ REQ_OP_WRITE = 1, /* flush the volatile write cache */ REQ_OP_DISCARD = 3, /* securely erase sectors */ REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE = 5, /* write the same sector many times */ REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME = 7, /* write the zero filled sector many times */ REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES = 9, it is hard to understand which bio op failed in the bio_check_ro(). Modify the error message in bio_check_ro() to print correct REQ_OP_XXX with the help of blk_op_str().
