Hi, all This version reworked on REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support as suggested by Christoph and dropped the block core bits since Jens has picked them up. Fio test shows bio-based IO path gives the following performance improvement: 1) Ramdisk device With bio-based IO path, sequential read/write, random read/write IOPS boost : 28%, 24%, 21%, 16% Latency improvement: 32%,

Hi, all Changes in v7: - Using vbr->flags to trace request type - Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter - Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function - Added performance data on normal SATA device and the reason why make it optional Fio test shows bio-based IO path gives the following performance improvement: 1) Ramdisk device With bio-based IO path, sequential

Hi, Jens & Rusty This version is rebased against linux-next which resolves the conflict with Paolo Bonzini's 'virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethrough' patch. Patch 1/3 and 2/3 applies on linus's master as well. Since Rusty will pick up patch 3/3 so the changes to block core (adding blk_bio_map_sg()) will have a user. Jens, could you please

Holding the vblk->lock across kick causes poor scalability in SMP guests. If one CPU is doing virtqueue kick and another CPU touches the vblk->lock it will have to spin until virtqueue kick completes. This patch reduces system% CPU utilization in SMP guests that are running multithreaded I/O-bound workloads. The improvements are small but show as iops and SMP are increased. Khoa Huynh
