    block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request · 5577022f
    Vladimir Davydov 提交于
    Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
    results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
    the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
    reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
    blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
    schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
    not turn on iowait time accounting.
    
    The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
    wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
    correctly.
