Hi Uchida-san,
I realized that the benchmark results which I posted on Apr 25 had
some problems with the testing environment.

I answered "Yes," but actually I did not use direct write I/O, because
I ran these tests on Xen-HVM. Xen-HVM backend driver doesn't use direct
I/O for actual disk operations even though guest OS uses direct I/O.
An another problem was that the CPU time was used up during the tests.
So, I retested with the new testing environment and got good results.
The number of I/Os is proportioned according to the priority levels.
Details of the tests are as follows:
Envirionment:
Linux version 2.6.25-rc2-mm1 based.
CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz stepping 06
CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz stepping 06
Memory: 2063568k/2088576k available (2085k kernel code, 23684k
reserved, 911k data, 240k init, 1171072k highmem)

sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB)
sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off

sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4 < sdb5 sdb6 sdb7 sdb8 sdb9 sdb10 sdb11
sdb12 sdb13 sdb14 sdb15 >
Procedures:
o Prepare 3 partitions sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7.
o Run 100 processes issuing random direct I/O with 4KB data on each
partitions.
o Run 3 tests:
#1 issuing read I/O only.
#2 issuing write I/O only.
#3 sdb5 and sdb6 are read, sdb7 is write.
o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 60 seconds.
Results:
