[PATCH 0/4] Improve fio max open zones handling

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

 



From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxx>

Improve max open zones handling by introducing a new IO engine operation,
which can be implemented by ioengines.

Also provide a default implementation for Linux, which parses sysfs for
the max open zones value.

Update libzbc ioengine to utilize the new callback.

Having this callback has the two following advantages:

1) If the user forgets to specify a --max_open_zones value, we will
automatically use the maximum the drive supports.
(Instead of getting errors because fio tries to open too many zones.)

2) If the user specifies a --max_open_zones value that is too big,
we will return an error and fio will exit with a proper error message.
(Instead of getting errors because fio tries to open too many zones.)


Kind regards,
Niklas

Niklas Cassel (4):
  zbd: only put an upper limit on max open zones once
  oslib/linux-blkzoned: move sysfs reading into its own function
  ioengines: add get_max_open_zones zoned block device operation
  engines/libzbc: add support for the get_max_open_zones io op
