Subject: [PATCH 4/5] blk-iocost: add iocost_ioc_tick tracepoint for per-period device summary
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 22:35:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028143534.135968-5-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028143534.135968-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
Add iocost_ioc_tick, emitted once per period from ioc_timer_fn()
with the overall controller state: period_us, vrate, busy_level,
active iocg count and usage percentage. It reads the values the
period ran in: the event is emitted before the vrate adjustment and
the period transition, so each tick reports the completed period.
It fires every period the controller is running, including steady
states, plus one final tick before the controller goes idle, which
reads active=0, making the transition to dormancy (e.g. a device
saturated entirely by uncharged IO) directly visible.
