All it does is shifting the vtime (and done_vtime) within the current window so that we don't build up budget too lage a budget possibly spanning multiple periods. The lagging detection is supposed to detect IOs which are issued two+ periods ago which didn't finish in the last period. So, I don't think the above sliding up the window affects that detection given that the lagging detection is done before the window sliding. All it's checking is whether there still are in-flight IOs which were issued two+ windows ago, so how the last window has been fast forwarded shouldn't affect the detection, no?
Thanks.
