Hi Bart,
I think it is very useful to restrict asynchronous requests when IO
loading is very heavy by aysnc_depth.
the following is my androidbench experiment in android device(sched_tag=128):
1. setting heavy IO
while true; do fio -directory=/data -direct=0 -rw=write -bs=64M
-size=1G -numjobs=5 -name=fiotest
2. run androidbench and results：
orignial async_depth
async_depth=nr_requests*3/4 delta
seq read 33.176 216.49
183.314
seq write 28.57 62.152
33.582
radom read 1.518 1.648
0.13
radom write 3.546 4.27
0.724
and our customer also feedback there is optimization when they test
APP cold start and benchmark after tunning async_depth.
thanks！
