2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2011-08-02dm flakey: add drop_writesMike Snitzer

2011-03-24dm: add flakey targetJosef Bacik
This target is the same as the linear target except that it returns I/O errors periodically. It's been found useful in simulating failing devices for testing purposes. I needed a dm target to do some failure testing on btrfs's raid code, and Mike pointed me at this. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
