This patch implements tape statistics in the st module via sysfs. Current no statistics are available for tape I/O and there is no easy way to reuse the block layer statistics for tape as tape is a character device and does not have perform I/O in sector sized chunks (the size of the data written to tape can change). For tapes we also need extra stats related to things like tape movement (via other I/O). There have been multiple end users requesting statistics including AT&T (and some HP customers who have not given permission to be named). It is impossible for them to investigate any issues related to tape performance in a non-invasive way.

Description:
|
|
Shows the total amount of time spent waiting for all I/O
|
|
to and from the tape drive to complete. This includes all
|
|
reads, writes, and other SCSI commands issued to the tape
|
|
drive. An example of other SCSI commands would be tape
|
|
movement such as a rewind when a rewind tape device is
|
|
closed. This item is measured in nanoseconds.
|
|
|
|
To determine the amount of time spent waiting for other I/O
|
|
to complete subtract read_ns and write_ns from this value.

reads greater than the block size.
