       ioblock_trace.request

VALUES

       bdev
           target block device

       p_start_sect
           points to the start sector of the partition structure of the device

       q
           request queue on which this bio was queued.

       bytes_done
           number of bytes transferred

       devname
           block device name

       size

       rw
           binary trace for read/write request

       idx
           offset into the bio vector array phys_segments - number of segments in this bio after physical
           address coalescing is performed.

       opf
           operations and flags

       vcnt
           bio vector count which represents number of array element (page, offset, length) which make up this
           I/O request

       bdev_contains
           points to the device object which contains the partition (when bio structure represents a partition)

       sector
           beginning sector for the entire bio

       flags
           see below BIO_UPTODATE 0 ok after I/O completion BIO_RW_BLOCK 1 RW_AHEAD set, and read/write would
           block BIO_EOF 2 out-out-bounds error BIO_SEG_VALID 3 nr_hw_seg valid BIO_CLONED 4 doesn't own data
           BIO_BOUNCED 5 bio is a bounce bio BIO_USER_MAPPED 6 contains user pages BIO_EOPNOTSUPP 7 not
