Demonstrations of xfsslower, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
xfsslower shows XFS reads, writes, opens, and fsyncs, slower than a threshold.
For example:
# ./xfsslower
Tracing XFS operations slower than 10 ms

This shows several reads from a "randread.pl" program, each 8 Kbytes in size,
and from a "data1" file. These all had over 10 ms latency.
This "latency" is measured from when the operation was issued from the VFS
interface to the file system, to when it completed. This spans everything:
block device I/O (disk I/O), file system CPU cycles, file system locks, run
queue latency, etc. This is a better measure of the latency suffered by
applications reading from the file system than measuring this down at the
block device interface.
Note that this only traces the common file system operations previously
listed: other file system operations (eg, inode operations including
getattr()) are not traced.
The threshold can be provided as an argument. Eg, I/O slower than 1 ms:
# ./xfsslower 1

There's now much more output (this spans only 2 seconds, the previous output
spanned 14 seconds), as the lower threshold is catching more I/O.
A threshold of 0 will trace all operations. Warning: the output will be
verbose, as it will include all file system cache hits.

The output now includes open operations ("O"), and writes ("W"). A cksum(1)
command can be seen reading from a data1 file, from progressively increasing
offsets: a sequential workload.
A -j option will print just the fields (parsable output, csv):
# ./xfsslower -j 1

This may be useful for visualizing with another tool, for example, for
producing a scatter plot of ENDTIME vs LATENCY, to look for time-based
patterns.
