Hi Nicholas et al, I expect the best possible performance test for percpu_ida/percpu_tags would be to stress drivers/vhost/scsi.c vhost_scsi_get_tag() function. I tried to make such test by attaching ramdisk to a virtual machine (similar to https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/10/347) but ultimately failed to configure the necessary environment - the stock qemu does not have -vhost-scsi parameter. Could you please advice how to make this configuration exposed to guests? o- / .....................................................................
