If you are unlucky enough that the first request will reach the target device and get started before the next one, you will have a small and a large part of any given request executed. This isn't good for performance, naturally. But queueing is so fast, I would be surprised if this happened much in the real world. Although the usual answer for what scheduling algorithm is best is almost always "depends on the workload", it was suggested to me that the cfq was still the best option to go with. What do people feel about that? (Or is AS going to remain default?). Also, we're making the assumption here that guest OS = virtual driver/device. I would rather we not make that assumption always. This may be moot because I was also told there might be a patch floating around (-mm ?) that allows you to select scheduling algorithm on a per-device basis. Anyone know if this is going to come in anytime soon? thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
