kernel I/O timing statistics

2002-05-22 Thread Zhihui Zhang
I have a need to record the total physical times spent on I/O requests during some period. My basic idea is to record the start time when the request is issued somewhere in a disk driver and the finish time somewhere in an interrupt routine. Can any one please tell me where are the right places
