Hi Jens,
The problem with using blktrace at production may cause a performance
drop ~30%. while with the block stats here, we only see ~3% when
enabled.
We did a benchmark with rnbd.

Fio config:
[global]
description=Emulation of Storage Server Access Pattern
bssplit=512/20:1k/16:2k/9:4k/12:8k/19:16k/10:32k/8:64k/4
fadvise_hint=0
rw=randrw:2
direct=1
random_distribution=zipf:1.2
#size=1G
time_based=1
runtime=10
ramp_time=1
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=128
iodepth_batch_submit=128
iodepth_batch_complete=128
numjobs=1
#gtod_reduce=1
group_reporting

[job1]
filename=/dev/rnbd0

blktrace command:
# blktrace -a read -a write -d /dev/rnbd0

read IOPS drops 35%, similar for write IOPS.

RNBD-No-blktrace  RNBD-With-blktrace

 102056.894311               -35.5%

The tests are done with v5.4.30.
