Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: update IO counters promptly after handling IO
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 11:15:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181126161502.19992-1-vincentfu@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Vincent Fu <vincent.fu@wdc.com>

Currently, IO submit worker threads only update parent IO counters when
the threads are idle or when the threads exit. When offload fio jobs are
assigned a restrictive CPU mask, this results in reporting and logging
problems. This patch updates parent IO counters more promptly upon
completing each IO which resolves the reporting and logging problems.

In the output below, notice the missing read data direction output in
the first, simple job and how it appropriately appears after the patch
is applied. In the second job with logging, notice the missing log
entries (unequal file sizes) in the first log and how entries are no
longer missing for the run with the patch applied.
