Some IOs may span multiple periods. As latencies are collected on completion, the inbetween periods won't register them and may incorrectly decide to increase vrate. nr_lagging tracks these IOs to avoid those situations. Currently, whenever there are IOs which are spanning from the previous period, busy_level is reset to 0 if negative thus suppressing vrate increase. This has the following two problems. * When latency target percentiles aren't set, vrate adjustment should only be governed by queue depth depletion; however, the current code keeps nr_lagging active which pulls in latency results and can keep down vrate unexpectedly. * When lagging condition is detected, it resets the entire negative busy_level. This turned out to be way too aggressive on some devices which sometimes experience extended latencies on a small subset of commands. In addition, a lagging IO will be accounted as latency target miss on completion anyway and resetting busy_level amplifies its impact unnecessarily. This patch fixes the above two problems by disabling nr_lagging counting when latency target percentiles aren't set and blocking vrate increases when there are lagging IOs while leaving busy_level as-is.
