The ideal 2-stream throughput should be >60MB/s, so I guess there are
still room of improvements for the CFQ's 23MB/s?

Your attached readahead trace shows that context RA is submitting
perfect 256-page async readahead IOs. (However the readahead-subsequent
cache hits are puzzling.)

The vanilla RA detects concurrent streams in a passive/opportunistic way.
The context RA works in an active/guaranteed way. It's also better at
serving the NFS style cooperative io processes. And your SCST workload
looks very like NFS.

The one fact I cannot understand is that SCST seems to breaking up the
client side 64K reads into server side 4K reads(above readahead layer).
But I remember you told me that SCST don't do NFS rsize style split-ups.
Is this a bug? The 4K read size is too small to be CPU/network friendly...
Where are the split-up and re-assemble done? On the client side or
internal to the server?

True.

Maybe. But the readahead IOs (as showed by the trace) are _async_ ones...

That's my plan to push context RA to mainline. And thank you very much
for providing and testing out a real world application for it!

> 2. It would be better to increase default RA size to 1024K

That's a long wish to increase the default RA size. However I have a
vague feeling that it would be better to first make the lower layers
more smart on max_sectors_kb granularity request splitting and batching.

Are you referring to max_sectors_kb?

What's your max_sectors_kb and nr_requests? Something like

        grep -r . /sys/block/sda/queue/

Linus has a mmap readahead cleanup patch that can do this. It
basically replaces a {find_lock_page(); readahead();} sequence into
{find_get_page(); readahead(); lock_page();}.

I'll try to push that patch into mainline.

Thank you, it helped a lot!
