In the "Overlapping multiple requests" cases, the 3rd reqs (the break
point B) doesn't wait for the 2nd, and once resumed the I/O will just
continue. This is because the 2nd is already waiting for the 1st, and
in wait_serialising_requests() there is:
/* If the request is already (indirectly) waiting for us, or
* will wait for us as soon as it wakes up, then just go on
* (instead of producing a deadlock in the former case). */
if (!req->waiting_for) {
/* actually break */
...
}
Consequently, the following "sleep 100; resume A" command races with the
completion of that request, and sometimes results in an unexpected
order of output:

Filter out the "Resuming request" lines to make the output
deterministic.
