Hello Jens,

Thanks! This infrastructure was essential while analyzing queue stalls.

After I had posted this series I improved and extended the blk-mq debugfs
functionality further. Please consider including the patch below in v4.12.

Thanks,

Bart.


From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com>
Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: Two fixes for the code that exports the queue state

Remove the array entry for QUEUE_FLAG_RESTART since that flag has
been removed after the blk-mq-debugfs patch that introduced this
array entry was posted.

Avoid that querying the queue state of a dead queue triggers a
kernel crash.

Can you just move blk_queue_flags_fops to blk_mq_debugfs_queue_attrs
instead of adding blk_queue_attrs?

Hello Omar,

Are you aware that that change will move the "state" attribute one level
down in the hierarchy? blk_mq_debugfs_queue_attrs attributes are created
under "mq" while blk_queue_flags_fops attributes are created at the same
level as the "mq" attribute. I had added blk_queue_flags_fops because the
"state" attribute is not related to blk-mq. That attribute is also relevant
for single-queue block layer queues.

Bart.

Yes, I am aware of that. We don't set up debugfs for single-queue queues
anyways, so the top-level directory is really just for blktrace. It
simplifies the lifetime and cleanup to have everything under mq, so
please move it there.
