Subject: [PATCH] sched: Account blkio delay independently of delayed dequeue
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:12:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ce12bff-9532-4b27-98f2-a807bbccfaf7@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fab66e31-7c7e-4a81-be59-1a4c1458ff43@arm.com>

Starting blkio delay accounting in __block_task() ties the interval to
removal from the runqueue. With EEVDF delayed dequeue, this misses the
initial part of an I/O sleep, or the entire sleep if the task wakes
before it is dequeued. Final dequeue can also run in another task's
context, causing delayacct_blkio_start() to timestamp the wrong task.

Start accounting in try_to_block_task(), when the current task commits
to blocking, before delayed dequeue or proxy execution can retain it on
the runqueue. End accounting when clearing is_blocked, including queued
wakeups and the proxy execution paths that let the current task continue.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261014081731.1068794-1-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com
Fixes: 152e11f6df29 ("sched/fair: Implement delayed dequeue")
