number of segments in this bio after physical address coalescing is performed
opf
operations and flags
name
name of the probe point
vcnt
bio vector count which represents number of array element (page, offset, length) which make up this I/O request
devname
block device name
idx
offset into the bio vector array
rw
binary trace for read/write request
bdev
target block device
p_start_sect
points to the start sector of the partition structure of the device
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 supported
sector
beginning sector for the entire bio
hw_segments
number of segments after physical and DMA remapping hardware coalescing is performed
ino

size
total size in bytes
bdev_contains
