[PATCH] Improve laptop mode's block_dump output
From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> This patch versus improves the output produced by "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump", in the following ways: 1) The messages are printed with KERN_DEBUG, so that even if sysklogd is running, if configured appropriately, it will not need to write to log files. 2) The inode which is dirtied by a process is now identified more precisely by inode number and filesystem ID, and by a dcache name if present. 3) In the generic filesystem sget function, the superblock id (s_id) is filled in with the filesystem type by default. Filesystems which are block-device based will override s_id, but this allows pseudo filesystems such as tmpfs, procfs, etc. to be identified in (2).
