From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d80c228d44640f0b47b57a2ca4afa26ef87e16b0 ] On the IO submission path, blk_account_io_start() may interrupt the system interruption. When the interruption returns, the value of part->stamp may have been updated by other cores, so the time value collected before the interruption may be less than part-> stamp. So when this happens, we should do nothing to make io_ticks more accurate? For kernels less than 5.0, this may cause io_ticks to become smaller, which in turn may cause abnormal ioutil values.
