Hi there,
Very appreciated about your "blktrace", "btt" and
gelato_ICE06apr_blktrace_brunelle_hp.pdf. They are quite powerful!
I am using blktrace-1.0.1-4.3.i586 on kernel 2.6.31.8, but the btt
output seems a little bit different from that pdf. This doc only
explained Q2I I2D D2C Q2C
Can anybody help to explain the detail meaning of:
Q2Q
Q2G
G2I
Q2M
M2D
Or is there any more detailed document about Q, G, I, M, D etc?
Thank you very much
Leon

Hi Leon -
Check out the btt.pdf generated by "make docs" - in a nutshell, 'Q'
traces indicates entry into the block I/O layer (more or less) so 'Q2Q'
would be the time between entries into the block I/O layer. 'G' is the
'request get' trace - so 'Q2G' shows the time needed to get a request.
'I' is the insert trace - so 'G2I' is how long it then took to find the
right queue spot to put the request on. 'M' is the merge trace - so
'Q2M' indicates how long it took to find & merge an incoming I/O, whilst
'M2D' indicates how long it took for that request to be 'issueD' - sent
down to the underlying device driver.
Regards,
Alan
