Subject: Re: [PATCH -next RFC] block: support to account io_ticks precisely

friendly ping...

There used be lots of attempt to implement similiar feature, please let
me know if this feature is still interested from mainline. The
additional overhead can be ignored at least for HHD, and we had received
multiple complaint that disk util becomes worse after upgrading kernel.
We do provide additional tools like blktrace and bpftrace script to get
precise util, but for performance and userspace complexity, most of our
custormers prefer to keep using iostat of read /proc/diskstats.

Thanks,
Kuai
