Ah, I see. Do you use the latency targets and min/max ranges or just fixate
the vrate by setting min == max?

Glad to hear.

It's still in progress but resctl-bench's iocost-tune benchmark is what
we're starting to use:

 https://github.com/facebookexperimental/resctl-demo/blob/main/resctl-bench/doc/iocost-tune.md

The benchmark takes like 6 hours and what it does is probing the whole vrate
range looking for behavior inflection points given the scenario of
protecting a latency sensitive workload against memory leak. On completion,
it provides several solutions based on the behavior observed.

The benchmark is destructive (to the content on the target ssd) and can be
tricky to set up. There's installable image to help setting up and running
the benchmark:

 https://github.com/iocost-benchmark/resctl-demo-image-recipe/actions

The eventual goal is collecting these benchmark results in the following git
repo:

 https://github.com/iocost-benchmark/iocost-benchmarks

which generates hwdb files describing all the found solution and make
systemd apply the appropriate configuration on boot automatically.

It's still all a work in progress but hopefully we should be able to
configure iocost reasonably on boot on most SSDs.

Thanks.
