Hi all,

I support moving towards nested waits. Keeping the previous event in
the caller's frame is the approach I had in mind. Starting with the
logging sites seems a useful step.

The patch addresses the case that concerns me: logs on a slow boot disk
not showed up in stats.

For follow-up, I'd look at WaitEventSetWait() and FileReadV(). Both
still clear an outer event when their wait ends.

Could we reuse the debug nesting check to collect inner/outer call
sites over a check-world run and identify most useful sites that can
be converted to nested?

Thank you!

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
