blk-iocost: Don't let merges push vtime into the future Merges have the same problem that forced-bios had which is fixed by the previous patch. The cost of a merge is calculated at the time of issue and force-advances vtime into the future. Until global vtime catches up, how the cgroup's hweight changes in the meantime doesn't matter and it often leads to situations where the cost is calculated at one hweight and paid at a very different one. See the previous patch for more details. Fix it by never advancing vtime into the future for merges. If budget is available, vtime is advanced. Otherwise, the cost is charged as debt. This brings merge cost handling in line with issue cost handling in ioc_rqos_throttle(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
