[PATCH RFC V3 1/4] block: add a statistic table for io latency

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

 



From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Usually, we get the status of block device by cat stat file, but we can
only know the total time with that file. And we would like to know more
accurate statistic, such as each latency range, which helps people to
diagnose if there is issue about the hardware.

Also a new config option is introduced to control if people want to know
the additional statistics or not, and we use the option for io sector in
next patch.

This change is based on our internal patch from Florian-Ewald Mueller
(florian-ewald.mueller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

+Description:
+		The /sys/block/<disk>/io_latency files displays the I/O
