The iocost rely on rq start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns to tell saturation state of the block device. Most of the time request is allocated after rq_qos_throttle() and its alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns won't be affected. But for plug batched allocation introduced by the commit 47c122e35d7e ("block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batch"), we can rq_qos_throttle() after the allocation of the request. This is what the blk_mq_get_cached_request() does. In this case, the cached request alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns is much ahead if blocked in any qos ->throttle(). Fix it by setting alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns to now when the allocated request is actually used.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
