[LSF/MM TOPIC] blk-trace update vs API stability

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

during investigating performance issues I frequently have the need to
include the request tag in the scsi tracepoints. While this can be
easily done for scsi, including it in block trace output is not that
easy due to the interdependency with the blktrace utilities.

Also there had been some discussion on KS last year, but with no
conclusive result IIRC.

At LSF I'd like to discuss
- Do we consider blktrace (and any other tracepoint in eg SCSI) as a
stable API?
- How do we go about modifying blktrace? Is this even desired?
  Or should any trace event modification be opaque to blktrace output?

Cheers,

Hannes
