engines/io_uring: delete fio_option_is_set() calls when submitting sqes

The fio_option_is_set() call in fio_ioring_prep() is time-consuming,
which will reduce sqe's submit rate drastically. To fix this issue,
add two new variables to record whether ioprio_class or ioprio_set
is set. I use a simple fio job to evaluate the performance:

filesetup: fix win raw disk access and improve dir creation failure msg

The commit df18600fd06258b96ae6f6b530ecdff541c2a82d ("filesetup: fix
directory creation issues") broke Windows raw/physical disk access
because Windows doesn't consider a path that only consists of a
namespace (such as the device namespace "\\.\" - see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file?redirectedfrom=MSDN#namespaces
for information on Windows' namespaces) to exist as a directory(!).

Workaround the issue for raw devices by explicitly considering the
device namespace subcomponent to always be valid. Further, intermediate
path components in UNC paths or paths starting with a namespace might
also not "exist" so introduce backwards scanning for the longest
pre-existing directory to sidestep this. The function doing this is made
available for non-windows platforms so a similar code path is used
everywhere.

Tests done:

Windows:
> ./fio.exe --name=dtest --thread --size=16k --rw=write `
  --filename 'fio.tmp'
> ./fio.exe --name=dtest --thread --size=16k --rw=write `

> ./fio.exe --name=dtest --thread --size=16k --rw=write `
  --filename '\\LOCALHOST\Users\User\fio\fio.tmp'

macOS:
$ rm -rf /tmp/fio
$ ./fio --name=dtest --size=16k --filename /tmp/fio/fio.tmp \
  --rw=write

Finally, change the directory creation error message to give a human
error message rather than just an errno.

fio: groundwork for adding slat, lat percentiles

Expand the data structure used for tabulating completion latency
percentiles so that we will have the ability to tabulate percentiles for
submission and total latency as well. This should not change fio's
behavior.

4 years agostat: fix calculation of bw and iops statistics based on samples
Maciej S. Szmigiero [Tue, 28 Jan 2020 20:39:15 +0000 (21:39 +0100)]
stat: fix calculation of bw and iops statistics based on samples

It is obvious on many runs that bw and iops averages from statistics based
on samples are way off (sometimes by an order of magnitude) in comparison
to the main numbers reported for these values.

When sampling these values fio assumes that their each next averaging
interval starts exactly the set averaging interval later from the start of
the previous averaging interval.

However, this isn't necessary true as scheduling delays may lengthen such
intervals, so the next one should start when the previous one has actually
ended, since that's when the collected totals are counted.

On my test system (with fio set to the default averaging interval length of
500 msec) the actual lengths are usually around 650 msec, however
700+ msec intervals aren't unusual.

This causes pretty significant bw and iops measurement discrepancy between
the sample-based values and the overall measurements.

Let's make sure that we use the actual end time of the previous averaging
interval as the beginning of the next averaging interval.

With this change the bw and iops sample-based values become almost the
same as the main numbers reported.

lib/memalign: remove smalloc()/sfree() dependency

fio_memalign()/fio_memfree() implementation shouldn't depend on
smalloc()/sfree() which has dependency on fio code itself.
e.g. This forces unittest code to prepare stab functions for
smalloc()/sfree().

This smalloc()/sfree() dependency was added by 3114b675fd
("fio: enable cross-thread overlap checking with processes").

Rename fio_memalign()/fio_memfree() to __fio_memalign()/__fio_memfree()
and take a function pointer instead of a boolean flag.
Add fio_memalign()/fio_memfree() as an inlined wrapper for
__fio_memalign()/__fio_memfree() without API change.
The only real change here is lib/memalign functions got renamed.
