[PATCH v2 3/4] blk-iocost: account zone append completions in latency stats

From: Tao Cui

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 04:58:32 EST


From: Tao Cui <cuitao@xxxxxxxxxx>

ioc_rqos_done() only accounts READ and WRITE completions, so zone
append completions are excluded from the latency window: the vrate
feedback loop cannot see ZA-induced latency, leaving it unable to
respond to device saturation caused by zone appends. Similarly,
calc_size_vtime_cost_builtin() does not classify zone append as a
write operation.

This is not covered by the patch that prices zone appends: charging
goes through the cost model, while the latency window is the feedback
path the vrate controller watches.

Treat zone append as WRITE for both latency accounting and cost
classification.
