How does linux kernel collect task stats data

By Weiwei Jia,
Motivation ∞ Recently, I find it is hard to know the percentage of time that one process uses to wait for synchronous I/O (eg, read, etc). One way is to use the taskstats API provided by Linux Kernel [1]. However, for this way, the precision may be one problem. With this problem, I dig into Linux Kernel source codes to see how “blkio_delay_total” (Delay time waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete) is calculated. » Read more
