Reading /proc/diskstats iterates over all cpus for summing each field.
It's faster to sum all fields in one pass.
Hammering /proc/diskstats with fio shows 2x performance improvement:
fio --name=test --numjobs=$JOBS --filename=/proc/diskstats \
--size=1k --bs=1k --fallocate=none --create_on_open=1 \
--time_based=1 --runtime=10 --invalidate=0 --group_report
JOBS=1 JOBS=10
Before: 7k iops 64k iops
After: 18k iops 120k iops
Also this way code is more compact:
add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 194/-1540 (-1346)
Function old new delta
part_stat_read_all - 194 +194
diskstats_show 1344 631 -713
part_stat_show 1219 392 -827
Total: Before=14966947, After=14965601, chg -0.01%

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.
