blk-iocost: skip empty flush bio in iocost
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The flush bio may have data, may have no data (empty flush), we couldn't
calculate cost for empty flush bio. So we'd better just skip it for now.

Another side effect is that empty flush bio's bio_end_sector() is 0, cause
iocg->cursor reset to 0, may break the cost calculation of other bios.

This isn't good enough, since flush bio still consume the device bandwidth,
but flush request is special, can be merged randomly in the flush state
machine, we don't know how to calculate cost for it for now.

Its completion time also has flaws, which may include the pre-flush or
post-flush completion time, but I don't know if we need to fix that and
how to fix it.
