Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue: " I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5. It's not abnormal other than it's 3-disk, with one being SSD (sdc) and the other two being write-mostly: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util sda 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdb 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdc 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 md0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 345.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 md2 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 58779.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 md1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 12.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 " The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code, but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.
