You are right. With NCQ, the io_service_time numbers aren't exact.
I've only tested this without NCQ for which these stats are accurate
and very useful. With NCQ turned on I don't see a good way of getting
this information accurately since only the disk knows when it actually
starts to service a given request. With NCQ, io_service_time will have
cumulative time as you pointed out which may still be useful for some
high-level analysis if you also have the average queue depth for the
device.
io_wait_time stat makes sense with or w/o NCQ since its defined to
only include the scheduler queueing time for each IO and is cumulative
by design. I should probably reword the definition of io_service_time
to indicate time after dispatch to the driver and request completion
and also add a comment of how NCQ affects this stat. Sounds good?
