[PATCH 5/9] readahead: add vfs/readahead tracing event

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

 



This is very useful for verifying whether the readahead algorithms are
working to the expectation.

Example output:

# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/vfs/readahead/enable
# cp test-file /dev/null
# cat /debug/tracing/trace  # trimmed output
pattern=initial bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=0+2 ra=0+4-2 async=0 actual=4
pattern=subsequent bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=2+2 ra=4+8-8 async=1 actual=8
pattern=subsequent bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=4+2 ra=12+16-16 async=1 actual=16
pattern=subsequent bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=12+2 ra=28+32-32 async=1 actual=32
pattern=subsequent bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=28+2 ra=60+60-60 async=1 actual=24
pattern=subsequent bdi=0:16 ino=100177 req=60+2 ra=120+60-60 async=1 actual=0
