Also, can I ask? If using fio or other tools, how should testing be done to get more accurate and convincing data? Such as the perfectly sequential and random I/O performance you mentioned above (fio's multi-threaded test does result in neither perfectly sequential nor perfectly random, but single thread dispatch is too slow, and cannot play the merge and sorting ability of elv).
I'm not sure that there is agreement about for which data patterns to measure performance to conclude that certain code changes improve performance of an I/O scheduler.
Thanks, Bart.
