Hi, Tsuruta-san.

I report my tests.
My test shows following features.
o The guaranteeing degrees are widely in write I/Os than in read I/Os for each environment.
o Vasily's scheduler can guarantee I/O control.
However, its guaranteeing degree is narrow.
(in particular, at low priority)
o Satoshi's scheduler can guarantee I/O control.
However, guaranteeing degree is too small in write only and low priority case.
o Write I/Os are faster than read I/Os.
And, CFQ scheduler controls I/Os by time slice.
So, guaranteeing degree is caused difference from estimating degree at requests level by the situation of read and write I/Os.
I'll continue testing variously.
I hope to improve I/O control scheduler through many tests.
Details of the tests are as follows:
Environment:
Linux version 2.6.25-rc5-mm1 based.

Test 1:
Procedures:
o Prepare 200 files which size is 250MB on 1 partition sdb3
o Create 3 groups with priority 0, 4 and 7.
Estimate peformance in Vasily's scheduler : group-1 57.1% group-2 35.7% group-3 7.2%
Estimate peformance in Satoshi's scheduler : group-1 61.5% group-2 30.8% group-3 7.7%
Estimate peformance in Native Linux CFQ scheduler with ionice command :
group-1 92.8% group-2 5.8% group-3 1.4%
o Run many processes issuing random direct I/O with 4KB data on each files in 3 groups.
#1 Run 25 processes issuing read I/O only per groups.
#2 Run 25 processes issuing write I/O only per groups.
#3 Run 15 processes issuing read I/O and 15 processes issuing writeI/O only per groups.
o Count up the number of I/Os which have done in 120 seconds.
o Measure at 5 times in each situation.
o Results is calculated by averatve of 5 times.
Results:
