Here is a private brew build for perf team to test: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/getfile?taskID=2171566&name=kvm-83-143.el5.x86_64.rpm
Created attachment 382938 [details] retest result. Atthched please find the result of *full* test. finished run test on both kvm-83-140.el5 and kvm-83-144.el5. test 100% random read and write. test block size = 512b,1k,2k,4k,8k,16k,32k,64k test queue depth = 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 the result shows we don't have an evident throughput improvement when write disk. --> Chart 3.5 and Chart 3.6. ( but at least no evident performance regression :) ) the read performance has some enhance ---> Chart 3.1 and Chart 3.3 and the CPU usage has a large improvement, especially on writing. --> Chart 3.6 and Chart 3.8 +++++++++++++++++ Test env ++++++++++++++++++ DELL OPTIPLEX 760.

In https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=2264563 you can find new kvm-83-158.el5.x86_64.rpm with an option to set the queue depth of the physical storage to. So you should add -drive file=,...,x-queue-depth-suppress-notify=STORAGE_QUEUE_DEPTH QE/Perf we need your help with it. Without the flag you get the regular behaviour.
x-queue-depth-suppress-notify patch was reverted. The problem wasn't solved, and the status is still "assigned".
