Hi Suparna,
I ran an aio-enabled version of fsx on your patches and no errors were
reported. I plan on using gcov to determine the test coverage I
obtained.
I also did a quick performance test using wall time to compare sync and
async read operations with your patches applied. For the sync case I
ran
10 processes in parallel, each reading 1GB in 1MB chunks from a
per-process
dedicated device. I compared that to a single aio process iteratively
calling
io_submit/io_getevents for up to 10 iocbs/events where each iocb
specified a
1MB read to its dedicated device until 1GB was read. Whew!
The result was that wall time for the sync and async testcases were
consistently identical, i.e., 1m30s:
# sync_test
start time: Wed Mar 5 14:02:05 PST 2003
end time: Wed Mar 5 14:03:35 PST 2003
# aio_test
start time: Wed Mar 5 13:52:04 PST 2003
end time: Wed Mar 5 13:53:34 PST 2003
