samples/bpf: fix bio latency check with tracepoint
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 9263211 ]

Recently, a new tracepoint for the block layer, specifically the
block_io_start/done tracepoints, was introduced in commit 5a80bd0
("block: introduce block_io_start/block_io_done tracepoints").

Previously, the kprobe entry used for this purpose was quite unstable
and inherently broke relevant probes [1]. Now that a stable tracepoint
is available, this commit replaces the bio latency check with it.

One of the changes made during this replacement is the key used for the
hash table. Since 'struct request' cannot be used as a hash key, the
approach taken follows that which was implemented in bcc/biolatency [2].
(uses dev:sector for the key)

[1]: iovisor/bcc#4261
[2]: iovisor/bcc#4691

Fixes: 450b787 ("block: move blk_account_io_{start,done} to blk-mq.c")
