Hi Shile,
Do you test your change ? It will be helpful with more performance data
(what problem that you improved).
In case of 960GB SSD cache device, once read of the 'priority_stats'
costs about 600ms in our test environment.
The perf tool shown that near 50% CPU time consumed by 'sort()', this
means once sort will hold the CPU near 300ms.
In our case, the statistics collector reads the 'priority_stats'
periodically, it will trigger the schedule latency jitters of the
task which shared same CPU core.
Thanks.
