[ Upstream commit f596da3efaf4130ff61cd029558845808df9bf99 ]

When the blk_classic option is enabled, non-blktrace events must be
filtered out. Otherwise, events of other types are output in the blktrace
classic format, which is unexpected.

The problem can be triggered in the following ways:

  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/blk_classic
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
  # echo blk &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

[ Upstream commit 22c80aac882f712897b88b7ea8f5a74ea19019df ]

Trace the remapped operation and its flags instead of only the data
direction of remapped operations. This issue was detected by analyzing
the warnings reported by sparse related to the new blk_opf_t type.

All remaining callers of bdget() outside of fs/block_dev.c want to get a
reference to the struct block_device for a given struct hd_struct.  Add
a helper just for that and then mark bdget static.

Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged
in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence
of events like:

and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above
excerpt is intermixed with a lot of other IO) that request 215023544+56
got merged to request 215023504+40. Provide proper event for request
merging like we used to do in the legacy block layer.

Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged
in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence
of events like:

...
  8,0   34     1579     0.608765271  2718  I  WS 215023504 + 40 [dbench]

  8,0   34     1585     0.609184850  2719  Q  WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench]

<title>block: create the request_queue debugfs_dir on registration</title>

We were only creating the request_queue debugfs_dir only
for make_request block drivers (multiqueue), but never for
request-based block drivers. We did this as we were only
creating non-blktrace additional debugfs files on that directory
for make_request drivers. However, since blktrace *always* creates
that directory anyway, we special-case the use of that directory
on blktrace. Other than this being an eye-sore, this exposes
request-based block drivers to the same debugfs fragile
race that used to exist with make_request block drivers
where if we start adding files onto that directory we can later
run a race with a double removal of dentries on the directory
if we don't deal with this carefully on blktrace.

Instead, just simplify things by always creating the request_queue
debugfs_dir on request_queue registration. Rename the mutex also to
reflect the fact that this is used outside of the blktrace context.
