CPU mask of other jobs.

.. option:: max_open_zones=int
- A zone of a zoned block device is in the open state when it is partially
- written (i.e. not all sectors of the zone have been written). Zoned
- block devices may have a limit on the total number of zones that can
- be simultaneously in the open state, that is, the number of zones that
- can be written to simultaneously. The :option:`max_open_zones` parameter
- limits the number of zones to which write commands are issued by all fio
- jobs, that is, limits the number of zones that will be in the open
- state. This parameter is relevant only if the :option:`zonemode` =zbd is
- used. The default value is always equal to maximum number of open zones
- of the target zoned block device and a value higher than this limit
- cannot be specified by users unless the option
- :option:`ignore_zone_limits` is specified. When
- :option:`ignore_zone_limits` is specified or the target device has no
- limit on the number of zones that can be in an open state,
- :option:`max_open_zones` can specify 0 to disable any limit on the
- number of zones that can be simultaneously written to by all jobs.
+ When a zone of a zoned block device is partially written (i.e. not all
+ sectors of the zone have been written), the zone is in one of three
+ conditions: 'implicit open', 'explicit open' or 'closed'. Zoned block
+ devices may have a limit called 'max_open_zones' (same name as the
+ parameter) on the total number of zones that can simultaneously be in
+ the 'implicit open' or 'explicit open' conditions. Zoned block devices
+ may have another limit called 'max_active_zones', on the total number of
+ zones that can simultaneously be in the three conditions. The
+ :option:`max_open_zones` parameter limits the number of zones to which
+ write commands are issued by all fio jobs, that is, limits the number of
+ zones that will be in the conditions. When the device has the
+ max_open_zones limit and does not have the max_active_zones limit, the
+ :option:`max_open_zones` parameter limits the number of zones in the two
+ open conditions up to the limit. In this case, fio includes zones in the
+ two open conditions to the write target zones at fio start. When the
+ device has both the max_open_zones and the max_active_zones limits, the
+ :option:`max_open_zones` parameter limits the number of zones in the
+ three conditions up to the limit. In this case, fio includes zones in
+ the three conditions to the write target zones at fio start.
+
+ This parameter is relevant only if the :option:`zonemode` =zbd is used.
+ The default value is always equal to the max_open_zones limit of the
+ target zoned block device and a value higher than this limit cannot be
+ specified by users unless the option :option:`ignore_zone_limits` is
+ specified. When :option:`ignore_zone_limits` is specified or the target
+ device does not have the max_open_zones limit, :option:`max_open_zones`
+ can specify 0 to disable any limit on the number of zones that can be
+ simultaneously written to by all jobs.
.. option:: job_max_open_zones=int
reads and writes. See :manpage:`ionice(1)`. See also the
:option:`prioclass` option.
+.. option:: cmdprio_hint=int[,int] : [io_uring] [libaio]
+
+ Set the I/O priority hint to use for I/Os that must be issued with
+ a priority when :option:`cmdprio_percentage` or
+ :option:`cmdprio_bssplit` is set. If not specified when
+ :option:`cmdprio_percentage` or :option:`cmdprio_bssplit` is set,
+ this defaults to 0 (no hint). A single value applies to reads and
+ writes. Comma-separated values may be specified for reads and writes.
+ See also the :option:`priohint` option.
+
.. option:: cmdprio=int[,int] : [io_uring] [libaio]
Set the I/O priority value to use for I/Os that must be issued with
cmdprio_bssplit=blocksize/percentage:blocksize/percentage
- In this case, each entry will use the priority class and priority
- level defined by the options :option:`cmdprio_class` and
- :option:`cmdprio` respectively.
+ In this case, each entry will use the priority class, priority hint
+ and priority level defined by the options :option:`cmdprio_class`,
+ :option:`cmdprio` and :option:`cmdprio_hint` respectively.
The second accepted format for this option is:
accepted format does not restrict all entries to have the same priority
class and priority level.
- For both formats, only the read and write data directions are supported,
+ The third accepted format for this option is:
+
+ cmdprio_bssplit=blocksize/percentage/class/level/hint:...
+
+ This is an extension of the second accepted format that allows to also
+ specify a priority hint.
+
+ For all formats, only the read and write data directions are supported,
values for trim IOs are ignored. This option is mutually exclusive with
the :option:`cmdprio_percentage` option.
want fio to use placement identifier only at indices 0, 2 and 5 specify
``fdp_pli=0,2,5``.
+.. option:: md_per_io_size=int : [io_uring_cmd]
+
+ Size in bytes for separate metadata buffer per IO. Default: 0.
+
+.. option:: pi_act=int : [io_uring_cmd]
+
+ Action to take when nvme namespace is formatted with protection
+ information. If this is set to 1 and namespace is formatted with
+ metadata size equal to protection information size, fio won't use
+ separate metadata buffer or extended logical block. If this is set to
+ 1 and namespace is formatted with metadata size greater than protection
+ information size, fio will not generate or verify the protection
+ information portion of metadata for write or read case respectively.
+ If this is set to 0, fio generates protection information for
+ write case and verifies for read case. Default: 1.
+
+.. option:: pi_chk=str[,str][,str] : [io_uring_cmd]
+
+ Controls the protection information check. This can take one or more
+ of these values. Default: none.
+
+ **GUARD**
+ Enables protection information checking of guard field.
+ **REFTAG**
+ Enables protection information checking of logical block
+ reference tag field.
+ **APPTAG**
+ Enables protection information checking of application tag field.
+
+.. option:: apptag=int : [io_uring_cmd]
+
+ Specifies logical block application tag value, if namespace is
+ formatted to use end to end protection information. Default: 0x1234.
+
+.. option:: apptag_mask=int : [io_uring_cmd]
+
+ Specifies logical block application tag mask value, if namespace is
+ formatted to use end to end protection information. Default: 0xffff.
+
.. option:: cpuload=int : [cpuio]
Attempt to use the specified percentage of CPU cycles. This is a mandatory
priority setting, see I/O engine specific :option:`cmdprio_percentage`
and :option:`cmdprio_class` options.
+.. option:: priohint=int
+
+ Set the I/O priority hint. This is only applicable to platforms that
+ support I/O priority classes and to devices with features controlled
+ through priority hints, e.g. block devices supporting command duration
+ limits, or CDL. CDL is a way to indicate the desired maximum latency
+ of I/Os so that the device can optimize its internal command scheduling
+ according to the latency limits indicated by the user.
+
+ For per-I/O priority hint setting, see the I/O engine specific
+ :option:`cmdprio_hint` option.
+
.. option:: cpus_allowed=str
Controls the same options as :option:`cpumask`, but accepts a textual
same reporting group, unless if separated by a :option:`stonewall`, or by
using :option:`new_group`.
+ NOTE: When :option: `group_reporting` is used along with `json` output,
+ there are certain per-job properties which can be different between jobs
+ but do not have a natural group-level equivalent. Examples include
+ `kb_base`, `unit_base`, `sig_figs`, `thread_number`, `pid`, and
+ `job_start`. For these properties, the values for the first job are
+ recorded for the group.
+
.. option:: new_group
Start a new reporting group. See: :option:`group_reporting`. If not given,
.. option:: log_unix_epoch=bool
- If set, fio will log Unix timestamps to the log files produced by enabling
- write_type_log for each log type, instead of the default zero-based
- timestamps.
+ Backwards compatible alias for log_alternate_epoch.
.. option:: log_alternate_epoch=bool
.. option:: log_alternate_epoch_clock_id=int
- Specifies the clock_id to be used by clock_gettime to obtain the alternate epoch
- if either log_unix_epoch or log_alternate_epoch are true. Otherwise has no
- effect. Default value is 0, or CLOCK_REALTIME.
+ Specifies the clock_id to be used by clock_gettime to obtain the alternate
+ epoch if log_alternate_epoch is true. Otherwise has no effect. Default
+ value is 0, or CLOCK_REALTIME.
.. option:: block_error_percentiles=bool
