Demonstrations of btrfsslower, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
btrfsslower shows btrfs reads, writes, opens, and fsyncs, slower than a
threshold. For example:
# ./btrfsslower
Tracing btrfs 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:
# ./btrfsslower 1
Tracing btrfs operations slower than 1 ms

There's now much more output (this spans less than 3 seconds, the previous output
spanned 6 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.

While tracing, the following commands were run in another window:
# date > date.txt
# cksum date.txt
The output of btrfsslower now includes open operations ("O"), and writes ("W").
The first read from cksum(1) returned 29 bytes, and the second returned 0:
causing cksum(1) to stop reading.
A -j option will print just the fields (parsable output, csv):
# ./btrfsslower -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.
