[PATCH v3 1/2] Add a new parameter.

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

 



This patch adds a new parameter thinktime_blocks_type to control
the behavior of thinktime_blocks. It can be either `complete`
or `issue`.
If it is `complete` (default), fio triggers thinktime when
thinktime_blocks number of blocks are **completed**.
If it is `issue`, fio triggers thinktime when thinktime_blocks
number of blocks are **issued**

Tests:
jobfile1:
```
[global]
thread
kb_base=1000
direct=1
size=1GiB
group_reporting
io_size=96KiB
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=8
bs=4096
filename=/dev/qblkdev
rw=randwrite

[fio_randwrite]
thinktime=2s
thinktime_blocks=4
```

jobfile2:
```
[global]
thread
kb_base=1000
direct=1
size=1GiB
group_reporting
io_size=96KiB
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=8
bs=4096
filename=/dev/qblkdev
rw=randwrite

[fio_randwrite]
thinktime=2s
thinktime_blocks=4
thinktime_blocks_type=issue
```

Results:
Current HEAD:
fio jobfile1:
	write: IOPS=5, BW=24.6kB/s (24.0KiB/s)(98.3kB/4002msec); 0 zone resets

	- issue 11 requests

	- issue 5 requests
