Awesome ! I will run this overnight to see how it compares with the previous results I sent. And I need to send something to fix the setup warning I am seeing, but that is a block or scsi patch I think.

Ran this for 2 hours, result plot attached. Same workload as before, 2 hours run. This looks much better. No drop to near nothing as there is now no HDD-to-HDD reclaim. The HDD is exercised at drive speed (150MB/s, which is about what I get with ext4 on a similar regular drive without dm-zoned). If anything, it looks like reclaim is starting too early. The initial peak performance at SSD speed is now very very short. We need to check the dmz_should_reclaim() changes. > > > Hannes Reinecke (2): > dm-zoned: invert zone check in dmz_reset_zone() > dm-zoned: split off random and cache zones > > .../admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-zoned.rst | 17 +- > drivers/md/dm-zoned-metadata.c | 157 +++++++++++++----- > drivers/md/dm-zoned-reclaim.c | 70 ++++---- > drivers/md/dm-zoned-target.c | 19 ++- > drivers/md/dm-zoned.h | 7 +- > 5 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) >
