Hi,

Running iozone with the fsync flag, or fs_mark, the performance of CFQ is
far worse than that of deadline for enterprise class storage when dealing
with file sizes of 8MB or less.  I used the following command line as a
representative test case:

   fs_mark -S 1 -D 10000 -N 100000 -d /mnt/test/fs_mark -s 65536 -t 1 -w 4096 -F

When run using the deadline I/O scheduler, an average of the first 5 numbers
will give you 448.4 files / second.  CFQ will yield only 106.7.  With
this patch series applied (and the two patches I sent yesterday), CFQ now
achieves 462.5 files / second.
which 2 patches? Could you paste the link or the subject? Just want to make my test env like yours. ;) As Joel mentioned in another mail, ocfs2 also use jbd/jbd2, so I'd like to give it a try and give you some feedback about the test.

This patch set is still an RFC.  I'd like to make it perform better when
there is a competing sequential reader present.  For now, I've addressed
the concerns voiced about the previous posting.

Review and testing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jeff

New from the last round:

- removed the think time calculation I added for the sync-noidle service tree
- replaced above with a suggestion from Vivek to only guard against currently
   active sequential readers when determining if we can preempt the sync-noidle
   service tree.
- bug fixes

Over all, I think it's simpler now thanks to the suggestions from Jens and
Vivek.
