Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] drivers: xen/block: add multi-page ring
support
Hi Bob,
Can you elaborate on the environment where you measured such an improvement?
I'm particularly interested in:
What workload were you issuing? (e.g. 4K seq reads?)
What backend were you using? (e.g. null driver? what parameters? some specific disk/array?)
What was the host configuration for the test?
What was the VM configuration for the test?
Thanks,
Felipe

Subject: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] drivers: xen/block: add multi-page ring support
Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring.
* xen-blkback notify blkfront with feature-multi-ring-pages
* xen-blkfront write to xenstore about how many pages are used as the ring
If using 4 pages as the ring, inflight requests inscreased from 32 to 128 and IOPS improved nearly 400% on our system.
