PATCH 2/3 block: switch to per-cpu in-flight counters

Now when part_round_stats is gone, we can switch to per-cpu in-flight counters.

We use the local-atomic type local_t, so that if part_inc_in_flight or part_dec_in_flight is reentrantly called from an interrupt, the value will be correct.

The other counters could be corrupted due to reentrant interrupt, but the corruption only results in slight counter skew - the in_flight counter must be exact, so it needs local_t.

It depends on whether Jens takes these patches or not. If he doesn't take them, dm will use percpu counters on its own and it will return zero in the "/sys/block/dm-*/inflight" file.

This reply is the first I've seen of them?!

Oh, they are in gmail spam. This happened with your last patches as well, you might want to look into that. I'll take a look at them later today.

I see, yeah, I could easily rebase the changes I referenced.

I had a quick look at your proposed changes, they seem pretty clean to me. The fact that disk_stats is already percpu for other counters makes this change straight forward.

But I'll review closer.

Now when part_round_stats is gone, we can switch to per-cpu in-flight counters.

We use the local-atomic type local_t, so that if part_inc_in_flight or part_dec_in_flight is reentrantly called from an interrupt, the value will be correct.

The other counters could be corrupted due to reentrant interrupt, but the corruption only results in slight counter skew - the in_flight counter must be exact, so it needs local_t.

Should also be using this_cpu_inc/dec instead.

How so? Mikulas is using local_t (original header speaks to why)
