Subject: [PATCH 6/7] iotests/129: Limit mirror job's buffer size
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 15:06:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210113140616.150283-7-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210113140616.150283-1-mreitz@redhat.com>

Issuing 'stop' on the VM drains all nodes.  If the mirror job has many
large requests in flight, this may lead to significant I/O that looks a
bit like the job is being drained.

We can limit the I/O in flight by limiting the buffer size, so mirror
will make very little progress during the 'stop' drain.

(We do not need to do anything about commit, which has a buffer size of
512 kB by default; or backup, which goes cluster by cluster.  Once we
have asynchronous requests for backup, that will change, but then we can
fine-tune the backup job to only perform a single request on a very
small chunk, too.)
