14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16Mode 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
26OPTIONS
27-------
28<command>...::
29	Any command you can specify in a shell.
30
31list::
32	List all PCIe root ports.
33
34<ports>::
35	Select the root ports for monitoring. Comma-separated list is supported.

401. 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
522. Collect metrics for all PCIe root ports:

54   $ perf iostat -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M oflag=direct
