Re: [PATCH] trace bio queueing trial only when it occurs

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

Minchan,

I tend to agree with the change, but somehow confused by blkparse(1):

        Q -- queued   This notes *intent* to queue i/o at the given location.  No real requests exists yet.

Li Zefan has been working on blktrace and he can tell more.

Thanks,
Fengguang
