Hi, all Changes in v7: - Using vbr->flags to trace request type - Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter - Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function - Added performance data on normal SATA device and the reason why make it optional
Fio test shows bio-based IO path gives the following performance improvement: 1) Ramdisk device With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write IOPS boost : 28%, 24%, 21%, 16% Latency improvement: 32%, 17%, 21%, 16% 2) Fusion IO device With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write IOPS boost : 11%, 11%, 13%, 10% Latency improvement: 10%, 10%, 12%, 10% 3) Normal SATA device With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write IOPS boost : -10%, -10%, 4.4%, 0.5% Latency improvement: -12%, -15%, 2.5%, 0.8% Asias He (2): virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blk virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 301 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 264 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) -- 1.7.11.2 _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
