== xfstests ==
xfstests seems to be the new standard for measuring Linux file system
performance.  We should include this test in fuego.
See the following for more information: * https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git/ * clone with 'git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git' * I think this is the main upstream repository for xfstests (the repository at http://oss.sgi.com/ has been deprecated) * An automated xfstests infrastructure using kvm * Ted Ts'o's work on automating xfstests * Toward better testing * Dave Chimmer's report on the status of xfstests at an event in 2014

block layer performance measurement [edit section]

== block layer performance measurement ==
Possibly something simple like 'time dd ...' is useful for catching 
some things (and it's short).
Here is a post from Linus Walleij about using a simple dd to measure block layer performance. He found a regression of performance using the MQ block layer scheduler, using this.

I got blk-mq running for MMC/SD today and I see a gross performance
regression, from 37 MB/s to 27 MB/s on Ux500 7.38 GB eMMC

I will however post my hacky patch as a RFD to the blockdevs and the block maintainers, along with the numbers and a speculation about what may be causing it. asynchronous requests (request pipelining) is one thing, another thing is front/back merge in the block layer I guess. }}}

I want to test amb d-bus can data benchmark, So can you share your used "can data" and "amd configuration" ?

This test apparently has a CAN packet injector, written by Cogent.
