Subject: Pretty-printing file.f_mode and file.f_flags in trace points

I want to add some trace points which display f_mode and f_flags from
struct file in a human way.   I found the following handy macros defined
in fs/nfs/nfstrace.h:

#define show_open_flags(flags) \
	__print_flags((unsigned long)flags, "|", \
		{ O_CREAT, "O_CREAT" }, \
		{ O_EXCL, "O_EXCL" }, \
		{ O_TRUNC, "O_TRUNC" }, \
		{ O_APPEND, "O_APPEND" }, \
		{ O_DSYNC, "O_DSYNC" }, \
		{ O_DIRECT, "O_DIRECT" }, \
		{ O_DIRECTORY, "O_DIRECTORY" })

#define show_fmode_flags(mode) \
	__print_flags(mode, "|", \
		{ ((__force unsigned long)FMODE_READ), "READ" }, \
		{ ((__force unsigned long)FMODE_WRITE), "WRITE" }, \
		{ ((__force unsigned long)FMODE_EXEC), "EXEC" })

I could just cut and paste these and drop them in
include/trace/events/ext4.h, but it would probably be better to have a
common header file.  The question is where to put them.  Does
include/trace/fs.h make sense to everyone?   Or should put them
somewhere else, such as linux/fs.h?

Cheers,

                                                - Ted
