task IO accounting: provide distinct tgid/tid I/O statistics
Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times. As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found in /proc/pid/io. [ Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still alive before we iterate over the threads, but also says that we can do that fixup on top of this later. - Linus ] Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@gmail.com> Cc: Matt Heaton <matt@hostmonster.com> Cc: Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com> Acked-by-with-comments: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
