Hi,

Josef, thanks for taking a look.


Although, there is nothing critical yet -- just a not working / disabled
optimisation, but changes in stats could sublty break it. E.g. grouping
@batch and @mean into a union will increase estimated average by several
orders of magnitude.

Jens, what do you think?

There are implicit assumptions about struct blk_rq_stats, which make
it's very easy to misuse. The first patch fixes consequences, and the
second employs type-system to prevent recurrences.


Pavel Begunkov (2):
  blk-iolatency: Fix zero mean in previous stats
  blk-stats: Introduce explicit stat staging buffers
I don't have a problem with this, but it's up to Jens I suppose

Acked-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

Thanks,

Josef
