Here's the link to the bug report:

https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23988

Looks like this is Cray related only. Since I'm not using this functionality I'll remove this patch from my own patch file just in case. Anyway, newer
kernels have a tool called blktrace that can be used to collect the same kind of statistics through ftrace (see comment #42 and up).

Cheers,

Denis
