[Test Result] I/O bandwidth Control by dm-ioband - partition-based environment

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 491 bytes --]

Hi Ryo

I attached new test result file(ioband-partition-based-evaluation.xls)in
this mail.
In this time, it is not virtualization environment.
I evaluated partition-based use cases before I do it in vitualization
environment.
because I think the two cases are smilar each other.

The detailed information about the evaluation can be referred in attached
file.

If you have any questions or comments after examine it,
please give me your opinion.

Thank you.

I would like to know the throughput without dm-ioband in your
environment. Because the total throughput of range-bw policy is
8000KB/s, which means the device has a capability to perform over
8000KB/s, but the total throughput of weight policy is lower than
the range-bw policy. In my environment, there is no significant
difference in average throughput between with and without dm-ioband.
I ran fio in the way described in your result file. Here are the
results of my environment. The throughputs were calculated from
"iostat -k 1" outputs.

            buffered write test
           Avg. throughput [KB/s]
        w/o ioband     w/ioband
sdb2         14485         5788
sdb3         12494        22295
total        26979        28030

Good work.
Please let me ask silly questions.

(1) About what "target" means
I guess "device" means writing to device files directly
(--filename=/dev/mapper/ioband1)
and "directory" means mounting these device files and writing to some directory
on the filesystem
(--filename=/mnt/ioband1/test.dat, I'm assuming mount /dev/mapper/ioband1 on
/mnt/ioband1),
am I wright?

(2) Conditions  in RDF sheet
Conditions in sheet "RDF" and "RBF" are same but results are slightly different.
Should "Mode" in RDF sheet be "Direct"?

Yes, you are right.
I also think the terms can leave misunderstanding. :)

As the Report sheet in the file shows,
"D" in RDF means Direct I/O and "B" in RBF means Buffered I/O(delayed I/O).
I think the reason for difference in result, especially several fluctuation
in RBF, is
related with buffer cache  and pdflushd daemon.
So, generally, I/O bandwidth controll in direct I/O mode is more accurate
than that of buffered I/O mode.

Alright, I see.  Completely no fluctuation in direct write is interesting.
Thank you for the explanation.

I would like to know the throughput without dm-ioband in your
environment. Because the total throughput of range-bw policy is
8000KB/s, which means the device has a capability to perform over
8000KB/s, but the total throughput of weight policy is lower than
the range-bw policy. In my environment, there is no significant
difference in average throughput between with and without dm-ioband.
I ran fio in the way described in your result file. Here are the
results of my environment. The throughputs were calculated from
"iostat -k 1" outputs.

            buffered write test
           Avg. throughput [KB/s]
        w/o ioband     w/ioband
sdb2         14485         5788
sdb3         12494        22295
total        26979        28030

OK, good comments.
I omitted the total bandwidth of the evaluation system.

I will reply to you about it tomorrow after I check and re-test it again.

Hi Ryo
I attached new file that includes I/O total bandwidth of evaluation system.
We tested total bandwidth of weight policy by I/O in Dom0 and DomU system
and it is measured through iostat tool and dm-ioband debug patch which I
gave you several months ago.
Of course, the result in prior report was measured by dm-ioband debug patch.

As a result, the big difference in prior report derives from the location
where we measured I/O bandwidth
iostat counts it in application level and dm-ioband debug patch does it in
dm-ioband controller.
I think the difference is related with buffer cache.

Thank you.
Have a nice weekend

Could you do the same test without dm-ioband? I would like to know

Re: [Test Result] I/O bandwidth Control by dm-ioband - partition-based environment

Hi Ryo
Sorry for late reply.

Mr Lee and I tested total bandwidth as you requested and the result is like
attached file.

I know file attaching is not proper in mailing list,
but I selected it for efficient and easy communication. sorry :)

And Buffed-Device case can be some strange,
it has too much variation in total bandwidth, So you had better to see as
only reference.
The rests didn't have big fluctuation such like Buffered-Device case.

if you have another request about the result,
reply to me about that.

Additionally, I will try to inform the test results in cgroup environment of
you in case by case.
What do you think about it?
If you are busy these days, it is OK to delay it later
.
Thank you.

Could you try the test on the weight policy with increaing token to
1280? I guess that the throughput difference between without and with
dm-ioband is caused since the token is a little small against the disk
speed.

I would like to know the reason for the diffirence between debug patch
and iostat in the prvious test you did (total_bandwidth_result.xls).

Re: [Test Result] I/O bandwidth Control by dm-ioband - partition-based environment

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2561 bytes --]

Hi Ryo
I attached new file that includes I/O total bandwidth of evaluation system.
We tested total bandwidth of weight policy by I/O in Dom0 and DomU system
and it is measured through iostat tool and dm-ioband debug patch which I
gave you several months ago.
Of course, the result in prior report was measured by dm-ioband debug patch.

As a result, the big difference in prior report derives from the location
where we measured I/O bandwidth
iostat counts it in application level and dm-ioband debug patch does it in
dm-ioband controller.
I think the difference is related with buffer cache.

Thank you.
Have a nice weekend
