Subject: [PATCH] distinct tgid/tid I/O statistics (was: taskstats and /proc/.../io

Balbir, Mark,

what do you think about the following approach?
Patch against 2.6.25.4, tested in KVM.

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.

As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the
top I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform
the actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be
found in /proc/pid/io.

Bug reported by Mark Seger <Mark.Seger@...com>.
