Based on the quantitative data present in the commit log this looks good to me, I believe you did audit all drivers and places in the block layer. Looks good.

Following are the details of the test and their > output: My default peak testing runs at 122M IOPS. That's also the peak IOPS of the devices combined, and with iostats disabled. If I enabled iostats, then the performance drops to 112M IOPS. It's no longer device limited, that's a drop of about 8.2%. Adding this patch, and with iostats enabled, performance is at 91M IOPS. That's a ~25% drop from no iostats, and a ~19% drop from the iostats we have now... Here's what I'd like to see changed: - Split the patch up. First change all the types from unsigned long to u64, that can be done while retaining jiffies. - Add an iostats == 2 setting, which enables this higher resolution mode. We'd still default to 1, lower granularity iostats enabled. I think that's cleaner than one big patch, and means that patch 1 should not really have any noticeable changes. That's generally how I like to get things split. With that, then I think there could be a way to get this included.

For the record, we did say per-io ktime_get() has a measurable performance harm and should be aggregated. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg89937.html

BTW, %util is usually not important for SSDs, please see 'man iostat': %util Percentage of elapsed time during which I/O requests were issued to the device (bandwidth uti‐ lization for the device). Device saturation occurs when this value is close to 100% for devices serving requests serially. But for devices serving requests in parallel, such as RAID arrays and modern SSDs, this number does not reflect their performance limits. Thanks, Ming

From the results I posted, if you look at a profile of the run, here are the time related additions: + 27.22% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc + 4.37% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get which are #1 and $4, respectively. That's a LOT of added overhead. Not sure why people think time keeping is free, particularly high granularity time keeping. It's definitely not, and adding 2-3 per IO is very noticeable.

As per the review comment from Jens Axboe, I am re-sending this patch against "for-6.2/block". Use ktime to change the granularity of IO accounting in block layer from milli-seconds to nano-seconds to get the proper latency values for the devices whose latency is in micro-seconds. After changing the granularity to nano-seconds the iostat command, which was showing incorrect values for %util, is now showing correct values. We did not work on the patch to drop the logic for STAT_PRECISE_TIMESTAMPS yet. Will do it if this patch is ok. The iostat command was run after starting the fio with following command on an NVME disk. For the same fio command, the iostat %util was showing ~100% for the disks whose latencies are in the range of microseconds. With the kernel changes (granularity to nano-seconds), the %util was showing correct values. Following are the details of the test and their output: fio command ----------- [global] bs=128K iodepth=1 direct=1 ioengine=libaio group_reporting time_based runtime=90 thinktime=1ms numjobs=1 name=raw-write rw=randrw ignore_error=EIO:EIO [job1] filename=/dev/nvme0n1 Correct values after kernel changes: ==================================== iostat output ------------- iostat -d /dev/nvme0n1 -x 1 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.08 0.05 0.06 128.00 128.00 0.07 6.50 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.08 0.06 0.06 128.00 128.00 0.07 6.30 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.06 0.05 0.06 128.00 128.00 0.06 5.70 From fio -------- Read Latency: clat (usec): min=32, max=2335, avg=79.54, stdev=29.95 Write Latency: clat (usec): min=38, max=130, avg=57.76, stdev= 3.25 Values before kernel changes ============================ iostat output ------------- iostat -d /dev/nvme0n1 -x 1 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.08 0.06 0.06 128.00 128.00 1.07 97.70 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.08 0.06 0.06 128.00 128.00 1.08 98.80 Device r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util nvme0n1 0.08 0.05 0.06 128.00 128.00 1.06 97.20 From fio -------- Read Latency: clat (usec): min=33, max=468, avg=79.56, stdev=28.04 Write Latency: clat (usec): min=9, max=139, avg=57.10, stdev= 3.79 Changes in V2: 1.
