This reverts commit 0006707723. It has a
couple problems:
* bio_issue_time() is stored in bio->bi_issue truncated to 51 bits. This
overflows in slightly over 26 days. Setting rq->io_start_time_ns with it
means that io duration calculation would yield >26days after 26 days of
uptime. This, for example, confuses kyber making it cause high IO
latencies.
* rq->io_start_time_ns should record the time that the IO is issued to the
device so that on-device latency can be measured. However,
bio_issue_time() is set before the bio goes through the rq-qos controllers
(wbt, iolatency, iocost), so when the bio gets throttled in any of the
mechanisms, the measured latencies make no sense - on-device latencies end
up higher than request-alloc-to-completion latencies.
We'll need a smarter way to avoid calling ktime_get_ns() repeatedly
back-to-back. For now, let's revert the commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
