Hi guys,
I'm using this simple trim test on a raw SSD but getting very low
performance. Bandwidth seems to be tied to the block size. Am I
doing something wrong?

What kernel are you on? This looks like a missing unplug issue. If you
run a blktrace for a few seconds while the test is ongoing, the output
of blkparse should reveal if you are seeing timer unplugs.

Hi Jens,
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.2, my kernel is:

Here is the output I got from blktrace / blkparse:

That looks fine, it might just be coincidence that you are capped at
~100 IOPS. I don't think it's that unlikely that the this is the limit
for you, your device might have a fixed overhead associated with a trim
request. I'd have to look closer at your system to see if that's the
case or not.

Sorry, I'm kind of new to mailing lists. I'll test some different
drive / system configurations next. Thanks for your help!

I think that would be useful, will certainly help in pin pointing what
the limiting component is here.
