Here are 4k sequential read results (cache=none) to check whether we
see an ioeventfd performance regression with virtio-blk.
The idea is to use a small blocksize with an I/O pattern (sequential
reads) that is cheap and executes quickly. Therefore we're doing many
iops and the cost virtqueue kick/notify is especially important.
We're not trying to stress the disk, we're trying to make the
difference in ioeventfd=on/off apparent.
I did 2 runs for both ioeventfd=off and ioeventfd=on. The results are
similar: 1% and 2% degradation in MB/s or iops. We'd have to do more
runs to see if the degradation is statistically significant, but the
percentage value is so low that I'm satisfied.
Are you happy to merge virtio-ioeventfd v6 + your fixups?
