[PATCH RESEND] block: count submission time as thrashing delay for delayacct

From: cgel . zte
Date: Mon Sep 12 2022 - 04:11:33 EST


From: Yang Yang (CGEL ZTE) <yang.yang29@xxxxxxxxxx>

PSI tracks the time system waiting for refaulting pages(or called
thrashing) spent on submitting the IO[1]. Delayacct also tracks
thrashing, but we failed to update it accordingly.

And we then have the ability to detect re-entrance of thrashing
accounting for delayacct[2], so we complete the accounting now.
This will make the thrashing accounting more accurate specifically
when device is congested or the submitting cgroup IO-throttled.

[1] commit b8e24a9300b0 ("block: annotate refault stalls from IO submission")
[2] commit 317bdccd67b2 ("delayacct: support re-entrance detection of thrashing accounting")
