io-latency

io-latency is a kernel module used for collecting statistics information about response-time(RT) of IO on linux.

Prerequisite

linux kernel version: 2.6.32

Installed kernel-devel package
How to install

wget "https://github.com/RobinDong/io-latency/archive/v1.1.1.zip"

unzip v1.1.1

cd io-latency-v1.1.1/

make

make setup

If want to collect microsecond(default is millisecond) granularity response-time, you could use 'make USE_US=1' to compile code.

You can also copy hotfixes.ko and io-latency.ko to machies with equally kernel version and use
```
 insmod hotfixes.ko

 insmod io-latency.ko
```
to install it.
How to use it

After install io-latency, you can use:
```
 cat /proc/io-latency/sdx/io_latency_ms
```
to see the RT of IO on /dev/sdx by granularity of microsecond.

'/proc/io-latency/sdx/read_io_latency_ms' show the RT of read IO

'/proc/io-latency/sdx/io_write_size' shows the IO-size of write.

'soft_io_latency_xxx'(enabled by default, you can use

'echo 0 > /proc/io-latency/sdx/enable_soft_latency' to disable it) show the RT of IO in software layer--mainly in kernel block layer\io-scheduler.

'io_latency_xxx' show the RT of IO in hardware layer.

To reset all the statistics info to zero, you can use

'enable 1 > /proc/io-latency/sdx/io_stats_reset'
How to build rpm package

sh rpm/io-latency-build.sh pwd

io-latency

io-latency是一个统计linux里IO延时信息的内核模块

安装前需要确认

linux内核版本是2.6.32

已经安装了 kernel-devel 包
如何安装io-latency

wget "https://github.com/RobinDong/io-latency/archive/v1.1.1.zip"

unzip v1.1.1

cd io-latency-v1.1.1/

make

make setup

如果想将统计时间的粒度变为微秒（默认为毫秒），可以在编译时使用
```
 	make USE_US=1
```
您也可以将编译好的 hotfixes.ko 和 io-latency.ko 拷贝到内核版本完全一致的

其它服务器上，然后：
```
 insmod hotfixes.ko

 insmod io-latency.ko
```
来安装io-latency.
如何使用io-latency

安装完成后可以用：
```
 cat /proc/io-latency/sdx/io_latency_ms
```
查看IO的延时，单位是毫秒

'/proc/io-latency/sdx/read_io_latency_xx' 显示了读IO的延时统计

'io_write_size' 显示了IO大小的统计

'soft_io_latency_xxx'(默认是开启的，可以用 'echo 0 > /proc/io-latency/sdx/enable_soft_latency'关闭此项统计) 显示了 IO在软件层的延时——主要是内核的块设备层和IO调度器里的延时

'io_latency_xxx' 显示了IO在硬件层的延时

如果要重置所有统计信息，可以用

'enable 1 > /proc/io-latency/sdx/io_stats_reset'
怎样打rpm包

sh rpm/io-latency-build.sh pwd
