From: Josh Snyder joshs@netflix.com Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 16:15:10 +0000 Subject: delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task
From: Josh Snyder joshs@netflix.com
commit c96f5471ce7d2aefd0dda560cc23f08ab00bc65d upstream.
Before commit:
e33a9bba85a8 ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")
delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which completed I/O.
This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.
With e33a9bba85a8, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up(). In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.
But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.
Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(), so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.
