-invalidate=bool        Invalidate the buffer/page cache parts for this file prior
-               to starting io. Defaults to true.
+steadystate=str:float
+ss=str:float   Define the criterion and limit for assessing steady state
+               performance. The first parameter designates the criterion
+               whereas the second parameter sets the threshold. When the
+               criterion falls below the threshold for the specified duration,
+               the job will stop. For example, iops_slope:0.1% will direct fio
+               to terminate the job when the least squares regression slope
+               falls below 0.1% of the mean IOPS. If group_reporting is

+                               individual IOPS measurements are within the
+                               specified limit of the mean IOPS (e.g., iops:2
+                               means that all individual IOPS values must be
+                               within 2 of the mean, whereas iops:0.2% means
+                               that all individual IOPS values must be within
+                               0.2% of the mean IOPS to terminate the job).
+                       iops_slope

+                       bw      Collect bandwidth data. Stop the job if all
+                               individual bandwidth measurements are within

+steadystate_duration=time
+ss_dur=time    A rolling window of this duration will be used to judge whether
+               steady state has been reached. Data will be collected once per

+
+steadystate_ramp_time=time
+ss_ramp=time   Allow the job to run for the specified duration before
+               beginning data collection for checking the steady state job
+               termination criterion. The default is 0.
 
 sync=bool      Use sync io for buffered writes. For the majority of the
                io engines, this means using O_SYNC.
