  10 [verse]
  11 'perf iostat' list
  12 'perf iostat' <ports> -- <command> [<options>]

  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics per each PCIe root port:
  17
  18 - Inbound Read   - I/O devices below root port read from the host memory, in MB
  19
  20 - Inbound Write  - I/O devices below root port write to the host memory, in MB
  21
  22 - Outbound Read  - CPU reads from I/O devices below root port, in MB
  23
  24 - Outbound Write - CPU writes to I/O devices below root port, in MB
  25
  26 OPTIONS
  27 -------
  28 <command>...::
  29         Any command you can specify in a shell.
  30
  31 list::
  32         List all PCIe root ports.
  33
  34 <ports>::
  35         Select the root ports for monitoring. Comma-separated list is supported.
  36
  37 EXAMPLES
  38 --------
  39
  40 1. List all PCIe root ports (example for 2-S platform):
  41
  42    $ perf iostat list
  43    S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:00>
  44    S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:80>
  45    S0-uncore_iio_1<0000:17>
  46    S1-uncore_iio_1<0000:85>
  47    S0-uncore_iio_2<0000:3a>
  48    S1-uncore_iio_2<0000:ae>
  49    S0-uncore_iio_3<0000:5d>
  50    S1-uncore_iio_3<0000:d7>
  51
  52 2. Collect metrics for all PCIe root ports:
  53
  54    $ perf iostat -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M oflag=direct

  71 3. Collect metrics for comma-separated list of PCIe root ports:
  72
  73    $ perf iostat 0000:17,0:3a -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M oflag=direct
