Hi eric,
Im actually viewing the buffer blocks that are written to the
disk in each flush from the buffer cache. I capture the request function
of the scsi device( do_sd_request() ) and invoke my own routine before
actually calling the old routine. Now since the scsi layer in ll_rw_blk.c
is doing a fiddling and attaching the new buffer heads to already
existing requests it seems Im missing them out.
Ive solved the problem by adding a few lines of code very similar
to md request in ll_rw_block(). Hence I have created a hook up function on
to which I can hook myself to capture every single buffer head.
If there is a more elegant way of doing the same, please guide me.
Alternatively if the scsi layer is going to be modified, I would like to
know If such an interface would be possible in the future for me without
myself adding hook up functions.
