Hi Ryo -
I don't know if you are taking in patches, but whilst trying to uncover
some odd behavior I added some blktrace messages to dm-ioband-ctl.c. If
you're keeping one code base for old stuff (2.6.18-ish RHEL stuff) and
upstream you'll have to #if around these (the blktrace message stuff
came in around 2.6.26 or 27 I think).
My test case was to take a single 400GB storage device, put two 200GB
partitions on it and then see what the "penalty" or overhead for adding
dm-ioband on top. To do this I simply created an ext2 FS on each
partition in parallel (two processes each doing a mkfs to one of the
partitions). Then I put two dm-ioband devices on top of the two
partitions (setting the weight to 100 in both cases - thus they should
have equal access).
Using default values I was seeing /very/ large differences - on the
order of 3X. When I bumped the number of tokens to a large number
(10,240) the timings got much closer (<2%). I have found that using
weight-iosize performs worse than weight (closer to 5% penalty).
I'll try to formalize these results as I go forward and report out on
them. In any event, I thought I'd share this patch with you if you are
interested...
Here's a sampling from some blktrace output (sorry for the wrapping) - I
should note that I'm a bit scared to see such large numbers of holds
going on when the token count should be >5,000 for each device...
Holding these back in an equal access situation is inhibiting the block
I/O layer to merge (most) of these (as mkfs performs lots & lots of
small but sequential I/Os).

Subject: [PATCH] Added in blktrace msgs for dm-ioband
Added the following messages:
In hold_bio - added messages as they are being added to either the
urgent or normal hold lists.
ioband <g_name> hold_urg <g_blocked>
ioband <g_name> hold_nrm <g_blocked>
In make_issue_list - added messages when placing previously held bios
onto either the pushback or issue lists:
ioband <g_name> add_pback <g_blocked> <c_blocked>
ioband <g_name> add_iss <g_blocked> <c_blocked>
In release_urgent bios - added a message indicating that an urgent bio
was added to the issue list:
ioband <g_name> urg_add_iss> <g_blocked>
In ioband_conduct - added messages as bios are being popped and executed
(sent to generic_make_request) or pushed back (bio_endio):
ioband <g_name> pop_iss
ioband <g_name> pop_pback
