之前已经在微信公众号分享了数据库优化的方法，链接为https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/6Atzk9UKPJRxxAs0nsKBXg 。 其中操作系统部分介绍了IO调度算法的优化，本文将通过压力测试的方式来对比不同的调度算法下磁盘IO的表现。
1 准备工作
1.1 安装sysbench
本次采用sysbench进行压测，先安装sysbench，步骤如下：
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/akopytov/sysbench/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
yum -y install sysbench
sysbench --version
1.2 准备测试文件
生成后续需要使用的测试文件，block大小为16k（MySQL DBA都懂的，哈哈），创建4个文件，合计20G
[root@mha1 ~]# sysbench fileio --file-num= --file-block-size= --file-total-size=20G prepare
sysbench 1.0. (using bundled LuaJIT 2.1.-beta2) files, 5242880Kb each, 20480Mb total
Creating files for the test...

1.3 准备测试表
因为也要进行数据库读写方面的测试，因此需要先创建相关表及数据

2 查看支持的调度算法
本次磁盘为SSD硬盘，操作系统版本文Centos7.8 。下面将调度算法修改为三种不同的值来进行随机读与随机写的压力测试
本系统为Centos7.8,需要查看支持的IO调度算法，然后再进行修改测试。
[root@mha1 ~]# dmesg | grep -i scheduler
[ 4.885816] io scheduler noop registered
[ 4.885820] io scheduler deadline registered (default)
[ 4.885867] io scheduler cfq registered
[ 4.885870] io scheduler mq-deadline registered
[ 4.885872] io scheduler kyber registered
可见，再本系统中，默认的调度算法为 deadline。
也可以通过如下命令查看当前的调度算法，其中中括号里代表当前使用的调度算法。
[root@mha1 ~]# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop [deadline] cfq
3 deadline算法
Deadline在机械盘的情况下对数据库环境(ORACLE RAC,MySQL等)是最好的选择。下面将进行随机写与随机读的压力测试

4 noop算法
4.1 修改为noop算法
noop称为电梯调度算法，是基于FIFO队列实现的。所有的请求都是先进先出的，因为SSD的随机读、随机写速度快，因此该算法适合SSD硬盘。
[root@mha1 ~]# echo 'noop' >/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

因为本次测试环境为SSD硬盘，因此，在此情况下建议选择noop磁盘IO调度算法，此结论也符合我们的预期。
特别注意：磁盘IO的调度算法还需要根据磁盘情况、数据库类型、数据库架构、业务场景（OLTP、OLAP等）等各种场景进行区分，不同的场景调度算法也要调整，不可一概而论。如果不确定的话，建议进行压测来判断，选择符合对应场景下最合适的算法。
