/* Test program for evaluating NFS read throughput */

/* Author: Till Straumann <strauman@slac.stanford.edu>, 2006 */

/* This test code allows for evaluating NFS read performance
 * under various scenarios:
 *  - synchronous reads with various buffer sizes (select
 *    'num_readers' == 0, see below).
 *  - pseudo 'read-ahead' using multiple threads that issue
 *    NFS reads from the same file (but from different offsets)
 *    in parallel.
 *    Rationale: each NFS read request is synchronous, i.e., the
 *    caller sends a request to the server and waits for the
 *    reply to come back. Performance enhancement can be expected
 *    by requesting multiple blocks in parallel rather than
 *    sequentially.
 *
 * rtems_interval
 * nfsTestRead(char *file_name, int chunk_size, int num_readers);
 *
 * 1) creates 'num_readers' threads, each opening 'file_name' for
 *    reading on a separate file descriptor.
 * 2) creates message queues for communicating with reader threads
 *
 * 3) read file using nfsTestReadBigbuf() until EOF is reached
 *
 * 4) releases resources.
 *
 * RETURNS: Time elapsed during step 3 in ms. This is measured
 *          using the system clock so make sure the test file
 *          is big enough.
 *
 * nfsTestReadBigbuf() synchronously reads a block of
 * 'num_readers * chunk_size' (which may be bigger than
 * the UDP limit of 8k) using 'num_reader' threads to
 * retrieve the various pieces of the big block in parallel.
 * This speeds up things since several RPC calls can
 * be in the works at once.
 *
 * NOTES:
 *  - if 'num_readers' == 0 this corresponds to an 'ordinary'
 *    NFS read. 'num_readers' == 1 schedules a single reader
 *    thread (== ordinary NFS read + message passing overhead).
 *  - no actual processing on the data is done; they are simply
 *    thrown away. A real, performance-critical application could
 *    pipeline 'reader' and 'cruncher' threads.
 *  - read is not completely asynchronous; synchronization is still
 *    performed at 'big block' boundaries (num_readers * chunk_size).
