util means the percentage that disk has IO, and theoretically it should not be greater than 100%. However, there is a gap for rq-based disk: io_ticks will be updated when rq is allocated, however, before such rq dispatch to driver, it will not be account as inflight from blk_mq_start_request() hence diskstats_show()/part_stat_show() will not update io_ticks. For example: 1) at t0, issue a new IO, rq is allocated, and blk_account_io_start() update io_ticks; 2) something is wrong with drivers, and the rq can't be dispatched; 3) at t0 + 10s, drivers recovers and rq is dispatched and done, io_ticks is updated; Then if user is using "iostat 1" to monitor "util", between t0 - t0+9s, util will be zero, and between t0+9s - t0+10s, util will be 1000%. Fix this problem by updating io_ticks from diskstats_show() and part_stat_show() if there are rq allocated.

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 reStructuredText 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.
