Commit 1e56f30a73f3 ("block: Make WBT latency writes honor enable
state") compares only the boolean enabled state in the no-op check.
Writing the current latency value while WBT is in WBT_STATE_ON_DEFAULT
is therefore still skipped, and enable_state is not changed to
WBT_STATE_ON_MANUAL. A subsequent elevator switch to BFQ then disables
WBT through wbt_disable_default(), silently discarding the explicit
sysfs setting:
# enable_state = WBT_STATE_ON_DEFAULT, min_lat_nsec = 2000000
echo 2000 > /sys/block/nullb0/queue/wbt_lat_usec # skipped as a no-op
echo bfq > /sys/block/nullb0/queue/scheduler
cat /sys/block/nullb0/queue/wbt_lat_usec # 0, WBT disabled
Skip the update only if the stored latency matches and enable_state
already equals the exact target state: WBT_STATE_ON_MANUAL for a
non-zero value, WBT_STATE_OFF_MANUAL for zero.
A write that passes the check then reaches wbt_set_min_lat(), which
performs the actual transition to the MANUAL state.
Rename the helper to wbt_lat_changed() to improve readability.
