patches/old/blktrace-use-rbuf-statsfull-as-a-drop-indicator-in-relayfs.patch

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>
Subject: blktrace: use rbuf->stats.full as a drop indicator in relayfs
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 14:12:00 +0800

Replace internal subbuf_start in blktrace with the default policy in
relayfs.

Remove dropped field from struct blktrace.  Correspondingly, call the
common helper in relay.  By incrementing full_count to keep track of how
many times we encountered a full buffer issue, user space will know how
many events were lost.
