Re: [PATCH 1/2] block: make rq sector size accessible for block stats

That's the same bug I posted a patch about 3+ weeks ago. No answer yet,
however.
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg40049.html

I think putting time sampling at __blk_mq_end_request() won't give
sufficient precision for more sophisticated hybrid polling, because path
__blk_mq_complete_request() -> __blk_mq_end_request() adds a lot of
overhead (redirect rq to another cpu, dma unmap, etc). That's the case
for mentioned patchset
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg40044.html

It works OK for 50-80us requests (e.g. SSD read), but is not good enough
for 20us and less (e.g. SSD write). I think it would be better to save
the time in advance, and use it later.

By the way, it seems, that __blk_mq_end_request() is really better place
to record stats, as not all drivers use __blk_mq_complete_request(),
even though they don't implement blk_poll().
