	Add tracking of REQ_OP_DISCARD ios to the partition statistics and append them to the various stat files in /sys as well as /proc/diskstats. These are tracked with the same four stats as reads and writes: Number of discard ios completed. Number of discard ios merged Number of discard sectors completed Milliseconds spent on discard requests This is done via adding a new STAT_DISCARD define to genhd.h and then using it to index that stat field for discard requests. tj: Refreshed on top of v4.17 and other previous updates.

2006-01-08	[PATCH] block/stat.txt	Andy Isaacson	1	-0/+82
	I couldn't find any docs explaining the contents of /sys/block/<dev>/stat, so I wrote up the following. I'm not completely sure it's accurate - Jens, could you give a yea or nay on this? In particular, the counts of read/write IOs and read/write sectors are incremented in different places - it looks like they both increment as the request is being finished, but I'm not completely sure of that.
