      drivers/block/aoe/Makefile: replace the use of <module>-objs with <module>-y · a0700bdd
      Tracey Dent authored
      Change Makefile to use <modules>-y instead of <modules>-objs because -objs
      is deprecated and should now be switched.  According to
      (documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt).

      blktrace: Don't output messages if NOTIFY isn't set. · 490da40d
      Tao Ma authored
      Now if we enable blktrace, cfq has too many messages output to the
      trace buffer. It is fine if we don't specify any action mask.
      But if I do like this:
      blktrace /dev/sdb -a issue -a complete -o - | blkparse -i -
      I only want to see 'D' and 'C', while with the following command
      dd if=/mnt/ocfs2/test of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct
      
      I will get(with a 2.6.37 vanilla kernel):

      See, there are 19 lines while I only need 2. I don't think it is
      appropriate for a user.
      
      So this patch will disable any messages if the BLK_TC_NOTIFY isn't set.
      Now the output for the same command will look like:
        8,16   0        1     0.000000000  4908  D   R 114759 + 8 [dd]

      Yes, it is what I want to see.
