The current implementation assure that the major and the minor are
coded on one byte. But they are not:

brw-rw----  1 root disk    252, 290 Feb 25 11:36 dm-290

290 as minor in this example is over 1 byte.

So after wondering why all my devices iops weren't correctly stored,
I found out that several points were added for some disks. For dm-290
it was overriding 252:34, instead of getting udev stats for 252:290.

The solution is here:

The implementation is directly taken from this, fixing my bug.

Could we use these functions to extract the major/minor numbers?

@Soulou could you look into this build error on mipsle?

[ERROR] run: Command 'GOOS=linux GOARCH=mipsle go build -o /go/src/github.com/influxdata/telegraf/build/linux/mipsel/telegraf  -ldflags="-w -s -X main.branch=pull/5566 -X main.commit=2118fbe7" ./cmd/telegraf' failed with error: # github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/inputs/diskio
plugins/inputs/diskio/diskio_linux.go:38:26: cannot use stat.Rdev (type uint32) as type uint64 in argument to unix.Major
plugins/inputs/diskio/diskio_linux.go:39:26: cannot use stat.Rdev (type uint32) as type uint64 in argument to unix.Minor

@danielnelson danielnelson modified the milestones: 1.10.1, 1.10.2 Mar 19, 2019
For most platforms, stat.Rdev is already a uint64 so this is without any effect
for linux,mipsle, unix.Stat_t.Rdev is a uint32, but the way to compute major and minor doesn't change, casting the uint32 has no impact either
