Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] blk-mq: fix start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns for pre-allocated rq

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@...edance.com>

The iocost rely on rq start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns to tell saturation
state of the block device. Most of the time request is allocated after
rq_qos_throttle() and its alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns won't be affected.

But for plug batched allocation introduced by the commit 47c122e35d7e
("block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batch"), we can
rq_qos_throttle() after the allocation of the request. This is what the
blk_mq_get_cached_request() does.

In this case, the cached request alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns is much
ahead if blocked in any qos ->throttle().

This patch fix it by setting alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns to now
when the pre-allocated rq is actually used.

Note we don't skip setting alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns for all
pre-allocated rq, since the first returned rq still need to be set.
