Hi folks, I did an IO performance test on the tcm-vhost scsi. I want to share the test result data here. seq-read seq-write rand-read rand-write 8k 256k 8k 256k 8k 256k 8k 256k ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- bare-metal 67951 69802 67064 67075 1758 29284 1969 26360 tcm-vhost-iblock 61501 66575 51775 67872 1011 22533 1851 28216 tcm-vhost-pscsi 66479 68191 50873 67547 1008 22523 1818 28304 virtio-blk 26284 66737 23373 65735 1724 28962 1805 27774 scsi-disk 36013 60289 46222 62527 1663 12992 1804 27670 unit: KB/s seq-read/write = sequential read/write rand-read/write = random read/write 8k,256k are blocksize of the IO In tcm-vhost-iblock test, the emulate_write_cache attr was enabled. In virtio-blk test, cache=none,aio=native were set. In scsi-disk test, cache=none,aio=native were set, and LSI HBA was used. I also tried to do the test with a scsi-generic LUN (pass through the physical partition /dev/sgX device). But I couldn't setup it successfully. It's a pity. Benchmark tool: fio, with ioengine=aio,direct=1,iodepth=8 set for all tests. kvm vm: 2 cpus and 2G ram thanks.
