[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] xen/block: add multi-page ring support
Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be issued
by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront and backend.
As a result, the performance can get improved significantly.
We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster
backend.
If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times for the
throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing.
The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page
ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical drives,
32 was really not enough to keep them busy.
Changes in v2:
- Rebased to 4.0-rc6
- Added description on how this protocol works into io/blkif.h
Changes in v3:
- Follow the protocol defined in io/blkif.h on XEN tree
