-Overview
----
-Utility scripts for automated FIO tests of virtual machines.
-Virtualization is done using QEMU software.
-
-Requirements
----
-- 'fio' and 'perf' packages must be installed in order for tests to run
-- Installed fio version must be the same as fio installed on qemu guest
-  systems. Another solution is to provide the path to a FIO binary
-  in arguments for testing scripts. If fio versions are different tests will not run.
-- All dependency packages for building QEMU.
-- QEMU source package. By default it is expected to be in the "qemu" directory in the
-  root dir of the main spdk directory.
-- a qemu-compatible VM image.
-- RSA key for VM SSH access in $HOME/.ssh/spdk_vhost_id_rsa or in a different
-  directory specified by $SPDK_VHOST_SSH_KEY_FILE global variable.

-Files:
----
-common.sh
-	Header file to be included in other files.
-
-autotest.sh
-	Script to perform automated fio test with given number of virtual machines
-	and given scenario type (virtio / kernel vhost / spdk vhost).
-	Can run an end-to-end test or with "--dry-run" option can just enable
-	virtual machines and leave them for user's manual tests.
-
-run_vhost.sh
-	Run single instance of vhost application. Useful during development.
-	See 'run_vhost.sh --help'
-
-run_fio.py
-	Script used to run fio utility on group of virtual machines
-	using default configuration or with parameters specified for
-	autotest.sh execution.
-	Script can also be executed with manually input parameters, resulting
-	in launching multiple fio jobs which are then combinations of all
-	parameters.
-	See 'python run_fio.py --help'
-
-vm_setup.sh
-	Utility script used to create a virtual machine
-	with spcified disk/block device and cache type for tests.
-	Useful during development.
-	See 'vm_setup.sh --help'
-
-vm_run.sh
-	Utility script used to enable selected virtual machines.
-	Can enable all or specific virtual machines from  directory.
-	Before running this script make sure that there was at least 1
-	virtual machine created using vm_setup.sh script.
-	Useful during development.
-	See 'vm_run.sh --help'
-
-vm_shutdown.sh
-	Utility script used to shut down all or specific virtual machines
-	if any remain active after test run.
-	Useful during development.
-	See 'vm_shutdown.sh --help'
-
-vm_ssh.sh
-	Utility script used to connect to specific virtual machine via ssh.
-	Useful during development.
-	See 'vm_ssh.sh --help'

-Examples:
----
-
---- Example 1, simple run:
-
-In spdk directory execute:
-./test/vhost/autotest.sh --vm=0,<path to VM image>,<device> --fio-bin=<path to fio bin>
-
-<device> 				- backend used for testing, e.g. Malloc0, Nvme0n1...
-<path to fio bin> 		- path to FIO binary
-
-This runs tests for 1 VM using spdk vhost.
-By default all jobs defined in test/vhost/fiotest/fio_jobs/ are executed sequentially.
-
---- Example 2, multiple VMs:
-
-./test/vhost/autotest.sh --vm=0,<path to VM image>,<device> --vm=1,<path to VM image 2>,<device 2>
-Same configuration as Example 1 but fio runs in parallel on 2 VMs
