Expected performance level of nvme driver v0.8 (Ubuntu 13.10/3.11.0-12-generic)

[Jeff Johnson]

Greetings,

I am doing some testing and benchmarking with the v0.8 nvme driver in
Ubuntu 13.10/3.11.0-12-generic. With a PCIe Gen3 nvme compliant device I
am seeing sequential (single thread) write and read numbers in the
900MB/sec range. Based on the device I was expecting higher numbers. Is
this an expected level of performance for this version of the driver?

Thanks,

--Jeff
