Yes, I will add below buggy behavior in the next version:

This bug can be reproduced as below on kernel without BLK_DEV_THROTTLING
(since it will unconditionally enable accounting, see the second patch).

# cat /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler
none mq-deadline [bfq]

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/sr0/state
SAME_COMP|IO_STAT|INIT_DONE|STATS|REGISTERED|NOWAIT|30

# echo none > /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/sr0/state
SAME_COMP|IO_STAT|INIT_DONE|REGISTERED|NOWAIT

# cat /sys/block/sr0/queue/wbt_lat_usec
75000

We can see that after changing elevator from "bfq" to "none", "STATS" flag
is lost even though WBT callback still need it.


> accounting). Can you also please add the appropriate stable cc?

Ok, will do.

Thanks.
