Virtio Block Device Queue Depth

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

 



Hi list,

I have a question regarding changing the queue size that is set in virtio_blk_init(). The current value is 128, which results in setting the queue depth in the Windows guest device to 8. Does anyone know if changing this value to defined maximum (1024) going to result in any issues? NB, we have also increased the thread pool accordingly. Our testing so far has produced a situation where initially we are seeing very high read request rates (1500+), and then at some point the reads from the Windows guest become serialized, i.e. the Windows guest synchronously sends one READ to the host, waits for it to complete, sends the next one, etc.  Has this ever been seen anywhere else? 

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
George
