To be honest I'm not sure how to apply a patch. Thus far I have only
used release versions of fio. Do I need to get fio from git, apply
the patch, and then compile?
The easiest would be:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio
Then save the patch from mail in a file, eg /tmp/patch. Then do:
$ cd fio
$ patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/patch
If the patch command spews any errors, the most likely explanation is
that your mailer mangled it somehow. You can try and add -l and see if
that makes patch happier, it'll ignore white space then.
Assuming that worked, just do:
$ ./configure
$ make
and re-run with ./fio and your job file.
