The test scheduler allows testing a block device by dispatching
specific requests according to the test case and declare PASS/FAIL
according to the requests completion error code

Changes in v4:
     - fix test_init_queue definition

Changes in v3:
     - checkpatch error fixes
     - Changes to support the packed commands tests
Changes in v2:
    - Export test-iosched functionality to allow definition of the block device
      tests under the block device layer
    - Add registration of block device tests utilities

+Test IO scheduler
+==================
+
+The test scheduler allows testing a block device by dispatching
+specific requests according to the test case and declare PASS/FAIL
+according to the requests completion error code.
+
+The test IO scheduler implements the no-op scheduler operations, and uses
+them in order to dispatch the non-test requests when no test is running.
+This will allow to keep a normal FS operation in parallel to the test
+capability.
+The test IO scheduler keeps two different queues, one for real-world requests
+(inserted by the FS) and the other for the test requests.
+The test IO scheduler chooses the queue for dispatch requests according to the
+test state (IDLE/RUNNING).
+
+the test IO scheduler is compiled by default as a dynamic module and enabled
+only if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is defined.
+
+Each block device test utility that would like to use the test-iosched test
+services, should register as a blk_dev_test_type and supply an init and exit
+callbacks. Those callback are called upon selection (or removal) of the
+test-iosched as the active scheduler. From that point the block device test
+can start a test and supply its own callbacks for preparing, running, result
+checking and cleanup of the test.
+
+Each test is exposed via debugfs and can be triggered by writing to
+the debugfs file. In order to add a new test one should expose a new debugfs
+file for the new test.
+
+Selecting IO schedulers
+-----------------------
+Refer to Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt for information on
+selecting an io scheduler on a per-device basis.

+Test IO scheduler
+==================
+
+The test scheduler allows testing a block device by dispatching
+specific requests according to the test case and declare PASS/FAIL
+according to the requests completion error code.
+
+The test IO scheduler implements the no-op scheduler operations, and uses
+them in order to dispatch the non-test requests when no test is running.
+This will allow to keep a normal FS operation in parallel to the test
+capability.
+The test IO scheduler keeps two different queues, one for real-world requests
+(inserted by the FS) and the other for the test requests.
+The test IO scheduler chooses the queue for dispatch requests according to the
+test state (IDLE/RUNNING).
+
+the test IO scheduler is compiled by default as a dynamic module and enabled
+only if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is defined.
+
+Each block device test utility that would like to use the test-iosched test
+services, should register as a blk_dev_test_type and supply an init and exit
+callbacks. Those callback are called upon selection (or removal) of the
+test-iosched as the active scheduler. From that point the block device test
+can start a test and supply its own callbacks for preparing, running, result
+checking and cleanup of the test.
+
+Each test is exposed via debugfs and can be triggered by writing to
+the debugfs file. In order to add a new test one should expose a new debugfs
+file for the new test.
+
+Selecting IO schedulers
+-----------------------
+Refer to Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt for information on
+selecting an io scheduler on a per-device basis.

What sort of tests have you written that make use of this
infrastructure?

Please explain this.

get_request and get_request_wait, called by blk_get_request, expects to
get the REQ_SYNC flag in addition to the read/write flag. Moreover, it
uses the REQ_SYNC flag in its algorithm decision making.
However blk_get_request expects to get a Boolean to indicate only
read/write flag and cannot handle the REQ_SYNC flag.

Right, so why is it okay to change this?  Right now, blk_get_request is
used for block special requests.  There is no sense of sync vs. async
for such requests (that's an fs request notion).  Perhaps you're calling
the wrong function?

Cheers,
Jeff

I use this function to get a WRITE_FLUSH request (which includes in its
flags the REQ_SYNC flag).
Is there another function I should use for this purpose?

Thanks,
Maya
