You are right.

Something like this (untested) variant of your > patch 2 from the latest iteration: I get what you mean: always initialize the two time stamps after blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(), so we know whether the time stamps are needed in blk_mq_rq_time_init(). It seems better and clearer indeed, I will try to change as you suggest. > > diff --git a/block/blk-mq.c b/block/blk-mq.c > index 5504719b970d59..55bf1009f3e32a 100644 > --- a/block/blk-mq.c > +++ b/block/blk-mq.c > @@ -328,8 +328,26 @@ void blk_rq_init(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq) > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(blk_rq_init); > > +/* Set alloc and start time when pre-allocated rq is actually used */ > +static inline void blk_mq_rq_time_init(struct request *rq, bool set_alloc_time) We need to pass "u64 alloc_time_ns" here, which includes depth and tag waits time by definition. So: 1. for non-batched request that need alloc_time_ns: passed alloc_time_ns != 0 2. for batched request that need alloc_time_ns: passed alloc_time_ns == 0, will be set to start_time_ns I have just updated the patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230710105516.2053478-1-chengming.zhou@xxxxxxxxx/ Thanks! > +{ > + if (blk_mq_need_time_stamp(rq)) { > + u64 now = ktime_get_ns(); > + > +#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_RQ_ALLOC_TIME > + /* > + * The alloc time is only used by iocost for now, > + * only possible when blk_mq_need_time_stamp(). > + */ > + if (set_alloc_time) > + rq->alloc_time_ns = now; > +#endif > + rq->start_time_ns = now; > + } > +} > + > static struct request *blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > - struct blk_mq_tags *tags, unsigned int tag, u64 alloc_time_ns) > + struct blk_mq_tags *tags, unsigned int tag) > { > struct blk_mq_ctx *ctx = data->ctx; > struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx = data->hctx; > @@ -356,14 +374,7 @@ static struct request *blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > } > rq->timeout = 0; > > - if (blk_mq_need_time_stamp(rq)) > - rq->start_time_ns = ktime_get_ns(); > - else > - rq->start_time_ns = 0; > rq->part = NULL; > -#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_RQ_ALLOC_TIME > - rq->alloc_time_ns = alloc_time_ns; > -#endif > rq->io_start_time_ns = 0; > rq->stats_sectors = 0; > rq->nr_phys_segments = 0; > @@ -393,8 +404,7 @@ static struct request *blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > } > > static inline struct request * > -__blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > - u64 alloc_time_ns) > +__blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data) > { > unsigned int tag, tag_offset; > struct blk_mq_tags *tags; > @@ -413,7 +423,7 @@ __blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > tag = tag_offset + i; > prefetch(tags->static_rqs[tag]); > tag_mask &= ~(1UL << i); > - rq = blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(data, tags, tag, alloc_time_ns); > + rq = blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(data, tags, tag); > rq_list_add(data->cached_rq, rq); > nr++; > } > @@ -427,12 +437,13 @@ __blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data, > static struct request *__blk_mq_alloc_requests(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data) > { > struct request_queue *q = data->q; > + bool set_alloc_time = blk_queue_rq_alloc_time(q); > u64 alloc_time_ns = 0; > struct request *rq; > unsigned int tag; > > /* alloc_time includes depth and tag waits */ > - if (blk_queue_rq_alloc_time(q)) > + if (set_alloc_time) > alloc_time_ns = ktime_get_ns(); > > if (data->cmd_flags & REQ_NOWAIT) > @@ -474,9 +485,11 @@ static struct request *__blk_mq_alloc_requests(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data) > * Try batched alloc if we want more than 1 tag. > */ > if (data->nr_tags > 1) { > - rq = __blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(data, alloc_time_ns); > - if (rq) > + rq = __blk_mq_alloc_requests_batch(data); > + if (rq) { > + blk_mq_rq_time_init(rq, true); > return rq; > + } > data->nr_tags = 1; > } > > @@ -499,8 +512,10 @@ static struct request *__blk_mq_alloc_requests(struct blk_mq_alloc_data *data) > goto retry; > } > > - return blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(data, blk_mq_tags_from_data(data), tag, > - alloc_time_ns); > + rq = blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(data, blk_mq_tags_from_data(data), tag); > + if (rq) > + blk_mq_rq_time_init(rq, set_alloc_time); > + return rq; > } > > static struct request *blk_mq_rq_cache_fill(struct request_queue *q, > @@ -555,6 +570,7 @@ static struct request *blk_mq_alloc_cached_request(struct request_queue *q, > return NULL; > > plug->cached_rq = rq_list_next(rq); > + blk_mq_rq_time_init(rq, blk_queue_rq_alloc_time(rq->q)); > } > > rq->cmd_flags = opf; > @@ -656,8 +672,8 @@ struct request *blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx(struct request_queue *q, > tag = blk_mq_get_tag(&data); > if (tag == BLK_MQ_NO_TAG) > goto out_queue_exit; > - rq = blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(&data, blk_mq_tags_from_data(&data), tag, > - alloc_time_ns); > + rq = blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(&data, blk_mq_tags_from_data(&data), tag); > + blk_mq_rq_time_init(rq, blk_queue_rq_alloc_time(rq->q)); > rq->__data_len = 0; > rq->__sector = (sector_t) -1; > rq->bio = rq->biotail = NULL; > @@ -2896,6 +2912,7 @@ static inline struct request *blk_mq_get_cached_request(struct request_queue *q, > plug->cached_rq = rq_list_next(rq); > rq_qos_throttle(q, *bio); > > + blk_mq_rq_time_init(rq, blk_queue_rq_alloc_time(rq->q)); > rq->cmd_flags = (*bio)->bi_opf; > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&rq->queuelist); > return rq;
