Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence of events like: ... 8,0 34 1579 0.608765271 2718 I WS 215023504 + 40 [dbench] 8,0 34 1584 0.609184613 2719 A WS 215023544 + 56 <- (8,4) 2160568 8,0 34 1585 0.609184850 2719 Q WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench] 8,0 34 1586 0.609188524 2719 G WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench] 8,0 3 602 0.609684162 773 D WS 215023504 + 96 [kworker/3:1H] 8,0 34 1591 0.609843593 0 C WS 215023504 + 96 [0] and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above excerpt is intermixed with a lot of other IO) that request 215023544+56 got merged to request 215023504+40. Provide proper event for request merging like we used to do in the legacy block layer. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
