[PATCH] zbd: Improve read randomness

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With zonemode=zbd, for random read operations with read_beyond_wp=0,
the zbd code will always adjust an I/O offset so that the I/O falls in
a non empty zone. The adjustment however always sets the I/O offset to
the start of the zone, resulting in a high device read cache hit rate
if the device has very few zones written.

Fix this by improving the randomness of the I/Os by adjusting the I/O
offset to a random value with the range of written data in the zone.
