[PATCH V5 1/3] block: add io_extra_stats node

[Md Haris Iqbal]

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@ionos.com>

We will track the size and latency of each io, which could make people
suffer from the additional overhead if they don't need the statistics.
So introduce a specific sysfs node to enable/disable the tracking.

[PATCH V5 2/3] block: add a statistic table for io latency

[Md Haris Iqbal]

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@ionos.com>

Usually, we get the status of block device by cat stat file, but we can
only know the total time with that file. And we would like to know more
accurate statistic, such as each latency range, which helps people to
diagnose if there is issue about the hardware.

This change is based on our internal patch from Florian-Ewald Mueller
(florian-ewald.mueller@ionos.com).

[PATCH V5 3/3] block: add a statistic table for io sector

[Md Haris Iqbal]

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@ionos.com>

With the sector table, so we can know the distribution of different IO
size from upper layer, which means we could have the opportunity to tune
the performance based on the mostly issued IOs.

This change is based on our internal patch from Florian-Ewald Mueller
(florian-ewald.mueller@ionos.com).

We've also found it useful to have the kernel export latency
statistics. In particular we've been using a 2d-histogram exporting
latency per iosize (there was a proposal a loong time ago that seemed
to fizzle out https://lwn.net/Articles/383515/)

Do you think having a format like that would be useful?
