Subject: [PATCH 0/5] kvm-unittests: add pci PORT IO and MMIO speed tests
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 11:52:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1364979131.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)

These patches add ability to measure speed of MMIO versus PIO, in
different configurations. As I didn't want to reserve a hardcoded range
of memory, I added pci bus scan support instead.  Used together with the
new pci-testdev backend.  When not present, the new tests are skipped.

Example output:
	mmio-no-eventfd:pci-mem 8796
	mmio-wildcard-eventfd:pci-mem 3609
	mmio-datamatch-eventfd:pci-mem 3685
	portio-no-eventfd:pci-io 5287
	portio-wildcard-eventfd:pci-io 1762
	portio-datamatch-eventfd:pci-io 1777

First interesting conclusion is that the overhead of MMIO
exit to QEMU as compared to PIO is double that of
MMIO ioeventfd as compared to PIO eventfd. Is this a known fact?
