[PATCH 0/3] block/dm: fix bio-based DM IO accounting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Jens,

Just over 3 years ago, with commit a1e1cb72d9649 ("dm: fix redundant
IO accounting for bios that need splitting") I focused too narrowly on
fixing the reported potential for redundant accounting for IO totals.
Which, at least mentally for me, papered over how inaccurate all other
bio-based DM's IO accounting is for bios that get split.

This set fixes things up properly by allowing DM to start IO
accounting _after_ IO is submitted and a split is occurred.  The
proper start_time is still established (prior to submission), it is
passed in to a new __bio_start_io_acct().  This eliminates the need
for any DM hack to rewind block core's excessive accounting in the
face of a split bio recursing back to block core.

All said: If you'd provide your Acked-by(s) I'm happy to send this set
to Linus for v5.17-rc (and shepherd the changes into stable@ kernels).
Or you're welcome to pickup this set to send along (I'd obviously
still do any stable@ backports). NOTE: the 3rd patch references the
linux-dm.git commit id for the 1st patch.. so that'll require tweaking
no matter who sends the changes to Linus.

Please advise, thanks.
Mike
