When we run IO in a detached device, and run iostat to shows IO status,
normally it will show like bellow (Omitted some fields):
Device: ... avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdd ... 15.89 0.53 1.82 0.20 2.23 1.81 52.30
bcache0 ... 15.89 115.42 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.40 69.60
but after IO stopped, there are still very big avgqu-sz and %util
values as bellow:
Device: ... avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
bcache0 ... 0 5326.32 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.10
The reason for this issue is that, only generic_start_io_acct() called
and no generic_end_io_acct() called for detached device in
cached_dev_make_request(). See the code:
//start generic_start_io_acct()
generic_start_io_acct(q, rw, bio_sectors(bio), &d->disk->part0);
if (cached_dev_get(dc)) {
//will callback generic_end_io_acct()
}
else {
//will not call generic_end_io_acct()
}
This patch calls generic_end_io_acct() in the end of IO for detached
devices, so we can show IO state correctly.
