When the inflight IOs are slow and no new IOs are issued, we expect iostat could manifest the IO hang problem. However after commit 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), io_tick and time_in_queue will not be updated until the end of IO, and the avgqu-sz and %util columns of iostat will be zero. Because it has using stat.nsecs accumulation to express time_in_queue which is not suitable to change, and may %util will express the status better when io hang occur. To fix io_ticks, we use update_io_ticks and inflight to update io_ticks when diskstats_show and part_stat_show been called.

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.
