Follows steps for setup dm stripe over two nvmes, then run io_uring on
the dm stripe dev.

1) dm_stripe.perl

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Create a striped device across any number of underlying devices. The device
# will be called "stripe_dev" and have a chunk-size of 128k.

my $chunk_size = 128 * 2;
my $dev_name = "stripe_dev";
my $num_devs = @ARGV;
my @devs = @ARGV;
my ($min_dev_size, $stripe_dev_size, $i);

if (!$num_devs) {
        die("Specify at least one device\n");
}

$min_dev_size = `blockdev --getsz $devs[0]`;
for ($i = 1; $i < $num_devs; $i++) {
        my $this_size = `blockdev --getsz $devs[$i]`;
        $min_dev_size = ($min_dev_size < $this_size) ?
                        $min_dev_size : $this_size;
}

$stripe_dev_size = $min_dev_size * $num_devs;
$stripe_dev_size -= $stripe_dev_size % ($chunk_size * $num_devs);

$table = "0 $stripe_dev_size striped $num_devs $chunk_size";
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_devs; $i++) {
        $table .= " $devs[$i] 0";
}

`echo $table | dmsetup create $dev_name`;


2) test_poll_on_dm_stripe.sh

#!/bin/bash

RT=40
JOBS=1
HI=1
BS=4K

set -x
dmsetup remove_all

rmmod nvme
modprobe nvme poll_queues=2

sleep 2

./dm_stripe.perl /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme1n1
sleep 1
DEV=/dev/mapper/stripe_dev

echo "io_uring hipri test"

fio --bs=$BS --ioengine=io_uring --fixedbufs --registerfiles \
        --hipri=$HI --iodepth=64 --iodepth_batch_submit=16 --iodepth_batch_complete_min=16 \
        --filename=$DEV --direct=1 --runtime=$RT --numjobs=$JOBS --rw=randread --name=test \
        --group_reporting
