Commit Message

Bart Van Assche July 10, 2023, 6:01 p.m. UTC
Add a new configfs attribute for enabling pipelining of zoned writes.
The test script below reports 250 K IOPS with no I/O scheduler, 6 K IOPS
with mq-deadline and pipelining disabled and 123 K IOPS with mq-deadline
and pipelining enabled. This shows that pipelining results in about 20
times more IOPS for this particular test case.

    #!/bin/bash

    for mode in "none 0" "mq-deadline 0" "mq-deadline 1"; do
        set +e

            [ -d "$d" ] && rmdir "$d"
