#
# iolatency - summarize block device I/O latency as a histogram.
#             Written using Linux ftrace.
#
# This shows the distribution of latency, allowing modes and latency outliers
# to be identified and studied.
#
# USAGE: ./iolatency [-hT] [-d device] [-i iotype] [interval [count]]
#
# REQUIREMENTS: FTRACE CONFIG and block:block_rq_* tracepoints, which you may
# already have on recent kernels.
#
# OVERHEAD: block device I/O issue and completion events are traced and buffered
# in-kernel, then processed and summarized in user space. There may be
# measurable overhead with this approach, relative to the block device IOPS.
#
# This was written as a proof of concept for ftrace.
