+- blkio.io_service_bytes
+ - Number of bytes transferred to/from the disk by the group. These
+ are further divided by the type of operation - read or write, sync
+ or async. First two fields specify the major and minor number of the
+ device, third field specifies the operation type and the fourth field
+ specifies the number of bytes.
+
+- blkio.io_serviced
+ - Number of IOs completed to/from the disk by the group. These
+ are further divided by the type of operation - read or write, sync
+ or async. First two fields specify the major and minor number of the
+ device, third field specifies the operation type and the fourth field
+ specifies the number of IOs.
+
+- blkio.io_service_time
+ - Total amount of time between request dispatch and request completion
+ for the IOs done by this cgroup. This is in nanoseconds to make it
+ meaningful for flash devices too. For devices with queue depth of 1,
+ this time represents the actual service time. When queue_depth > 1,
+ that is no longer true as requests may be served out of order. This
+ may cause the service time for a given IO to include the service time
+ of multiple IOs when served out of order which may result in total
+ io_service_time > actual time elapsed. This time is further divided by
+ the type of operation - read or write, sync or async. First two fields
+ specify the major and minor number of the device, third field
+ specifies the operation type and the fourth field specifies the
+ io_service_time in ns.
+
+- blkio.io_wait_time
+ - Total amount of time the IOs for this cgroup spent waiting in the
+ scheduler queues for service. This can be greater than the total time
+ elapsed since it is cumulative io_wait_time for all IOs. It is not a
+ measure of total time the cgroup spent waiting but rather a measure of
+ the wait_time for its individual IOs. For devices with queue_depth > 1
+ this metric does not include the time spent waiting for service once
+ the IO is dispatched to the device but till it actually gets serviced
+ (there might be a time lag here due to re-ordering of requests by the
+ device). This is in nanoseconds to make it meaningful for flash
+ devices too. This time is further divided by the type of operation -
+ read or write, sync or async. First two fields specify the major and
+ minor number of the device, third field specifies the operation type
+ and the fourth field specifies the io_wait_time in ns.
+
+- blkio.io_merged
+ - Total number of bios/requests merged into requests belonging to this
+ cgroup. This is further divided by the type of operation - read or
+ write, sync or async.
+
+- blkio.io_queued
+ - Total number of requests queued up at any given instant for this
+ cgroup. This is further divided by the type of operation - read or
+ write, sync or async.
+
+- blkio.avg_queue_size
+ - Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP=y.
+ The average queue size for this cgroup over the entire time of this
+ cgroup's existence. Queue size samples are taken each time one of the
+ queues of this cgroup gets a timeslice.
+
+- blkio.group_wait_time
+ - Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP=y.
+ This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait since it became busy
+ (i.e., went from 0 to 1 request queued) to get a timeslice for one of
+ its queues. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the
+ cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup
+ waiting in the scheduler queue. This is in nanoseconds. If this is
+ read when the cgroup is in a waiting (for timeslice) state, the stat
+ will only report the group_wait_time accumulated till the last time it
+ got a timeslice and will not include the current delta.
+
+- blkio.empty_time
+ - Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP=y.
+ This is the amount of time a cgroup spends without any pending
+ requests when not being served, i.e., it does not include any time
+ spent idling for one of the queues of the cgroup. This is in
+ nanoseconds. If this is read when the cgroup is in an empty state,
+ the stat will only report the empty_time accumulated till the last
+ time it had a pending request and will not include the current delta.
+
+- blkio.idle_time
+ - Debugging aid only enabled if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP=y.
+ This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling for a
+ given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones
+ from other queues/cgroups. This is in nanoseconds. If this is read
+ when the cgroup is in an idling state, the stat will only report the
+ idle_time accumulated till the last idle period and will not include
+ the current delta.
