Now when I/O is submitted to a partition, the per-CPU in_flight[] counter is incremented only on the partition's block_device, not on the underlying whole disk. This leads to a problem which can be shown by a fio test: lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS mydev 252:1 0 20G 0 disk └─mydev1 259:0 0 10G 0 part iostat -xp 1 Device r/s rkB/s ... aqu-sz %util mydev 128153.00 512612.00 ... 13.22 72.20 mydev1 128154.00 512616.00 ... 13.22 100.00 %util is different between mydev and mydev1, which is unexpected. This is the cumulative effect of a series of patches. The root cause is commite016b78201("block: return just one value from part_in_flight"), which deleted the branch in part_in_flight() that aggregated the whole-disk in_flight count on top of the partition's. Then the second commit is commit10ec5e86f9("block: merge part_{inc,dev}_in_flight into their only callers"), which folded the whole-disk in_flight accounting into generic_start_io_acct() and generic_end_io_acct(). Those two helpers were then removed by commite722fff238("block: remove generic_{start,end}_io_acct"), and from that point on the whole disk's in_flight is no longer accounted at all. In update_io_ticks(), if calling bdev_count_inflight() finds that the inflight value of the whole device is 0, the accumulation of io_ticks will be skipped, causing the reported util% value to be underestimated. Fix it by restoring the whole-disk in_flight accounting.
