[PATCH 1/3 for-5.4/block] iocost: better trace vrate changes

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Sep 25 2019 - 19:02:26 EST


vrate_adj tracepoint traces vrate changes; however, it does so only
when busy_level is non-zero. busy_level turning to zero can sometimes
be as interesting an event. This patch also enables vrate_adj
tracepoint on other vrate related events - busy_level changes and
non-zero nr_lagging.

Hello, Jens.

I've encountered vrate regulation issues while testing on a hard disk
machine. These are three patches to improve vrate adj visibility and
fix the issue.

Thanks.
