NFSTEST_DIO

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Direct I/O on pNFS tests verify the client sends the READ/WRITE to the correct DS or the MDS if using a PAGESIZE aligned buffer or not, respectively.

Direct I/O data correctness tests verify that a file written with buffered I/O is read correctly with direct I/O. Verify that a file written with direct I/O is read correctly with buffered I/O.

Vectored I/O tests verify coalescence of multiple vectors into one READ/WRITE packet when all vectors are PAGESIZE aligned. Vectors with different alignments are sent on separate packets.

Valid for NFSv4.0 and NFSv4.1 including pNFS.

TESTS

eof

Verify eof marker is handled correctly when reading the end
of the file.

correctness

Verify data correctness when reading/writing using direct I/O.
File created with buffered I/O is read correctly with direct I/O.
File created with direct I/O is read correctly with buffered I/O.

fstat

Verify fstat() gets correct file size after writing.

read

Verify READ is sent after writing when the file is open for
both read and write.

read_ahead

Verify READ is sent with only the requested bytes bypassing
read ahead.

basic

Verify a packet is sent for each I/O request.

rsize

Verify multiple READ packets are sent for each read request
having request size > rsize.

wsize

Verify multiple WRITE packets are sent for each write request
having request size > wsize

aligned

Verify packet is sent to correct DS server when using a memory
which is PAGESIZE aligned.

nonaligned

Verify packet is sent to the MDS when using a memory which
is not PAGESIZE aligned.

diffalign

Verify packets are sent to both the MDS and correct DS on same open
using buffers with different alignments.

stripesize

Verify multiple packets are sent for each request having the
request size greater than stripe size.

vectored_io

Verify vectored I/O functionality.

all
