[PATCH] IO_URING: Statistics of the true utilization of sq threads.

From: Xiaobing Li
Date: Mon Nov 06 2023 - 02:55:50 EST


Since the sq thread has a while(1) structure, during this process, there
may be a lot of time that is not processing IO but does not exceed the
timeout period, therefore, the sqpoll thread will keep running and will
keep occupying the CPU. Obviously, the CPU is wasted at this time;Our
goal is to count the part of the time that the sqpoll thread actually
processes IO, so as to reflect the part of the CPU it uses to process
IO, which can be used to help improve the actual utilization of the CPU
in the future.
