Demonstrations of ext4slower, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
ext4slower shows ext4 reads, writes, opens, and fsyncs, slower than a threshold.
For example:
# ./ext4slower
Tracing ext4 operations slower than 10 ms

This shows various system tasks reading from ext4. The high latency here is
due to disk I/O, as I had just evicted the file system cache for this example.
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:
# ./ext4slower 1
Tracing ext4 operations slower than 1 ms

This time a cksum(1) command can be seen reading various files (from /usr/bin).
A threshold of 0 will trace all operations. Warning: the output will be
verbose, as it will include all file system cache hits.
