The /proc/diskstats file displays the I/O statistics
of block devices. Each line contains the following 14
fields:
+
1 - major number
2 - minor mumber
3 - device name
12 - I/Os currently in progress
13 - time spent doing I/Os (ms)
14 - weighted time spent doing I/Os (ms)
+
+ Kernel 4.18+ appends four more fields for discard
+ tracking putting the total at 18:
+
+ 15 - discards completed successfully
+ 16 - discards merged
+ 17 - sectors discarded
+ 18 - time spent discarding
+
For more details refer to Documentation/iostats.txt
in_flight requests number of I/Os currently in flight
io_ticks milliseconds total time this block device has been active
time_in_queue milliseconds total wait time for all requests
+discard I/Os requests number of discard I/Os processed
+discard merges requests number of discard I/Os merged with in-queue I/O
+discard sectors sectors number of sectors discarded
+discard ticks milliseconds total wait time for discard requests
-read I/Os, write I/Os
-=====================
+read I/Os, write I/Os, discard I/0s
+===================================
These values increment when an I/O request completes.
-read merges, write merges
-=========================
+read merges, write merges, discard merges
+=========================================
These values increment when an I/O request is merged with an
already-queued I/O request.
-read sectors, write sectors
-===========================
+read sectors, write sectors, discard_sectors
+============================================
-These values count the number of sectors read from or written to this
-block device. The "sectors" in question are the standard UNIX 512-byte
-sectors, not any device- or filesystem-specific block size. The
-counters are incremented when the I/O completes.

On 2.4 you might execute ``grep 'hda ' /proc/partitions``. On 2.6+, you have
a choice of ``cat /sys/block/hda/stat`` or ``grep 'hda ' /proc/diskstats``.
last update of this field. This can provide an easy measure of both
I/O completion time and the backlog that may be accumulating.
+Field 12 -- # of discards completed
+ This is the total number of discards completed successfully.
+
+Field 13 -- # of discards merged
+ See the description of field 2
+
+Field 14 -- # of sectors discarded
+ This is the total number of sectors discarded successfully.
+
+Field 15 -- # of milliseconds spent discarding
+ This is the total number of milliseconds spent by all discards (as
+ measured from __make_request() to end_that_request_last()).
To avoid introducing performance bottlenecks, no locks are held while
modifying these counters. This implies that minor inaccuracies may be
