NAME

6       ping_pong - measures the ping-pong byte range lock latency
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ping_pong {-r | -w | -rw} [-m] [-c] {FILENAME} {NUM-LOCKS}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ping_pong measures the byte range lock latency. It is especially useful
13       on a cluster of nodes sharing a common lock manager as it will give
14       some indication of the lock manager's performance under stress.
15
16       FILENAME is a file on shared storage to use for byte range locking
17       tests.
18
19       NUM-LOCKS is the number of byte range locks, so needs to be (strictly)
20       greater than the number of nodes in the cluster.

OPTIONS

23       -r
24           test read performance
25
26       -w
27           test write performance
28
29       -m
30           use mmap
31
32       -c
33           validate the locks
