May depend on the upstream fio?

[akiradeveloper]

Hi, fio tool is changing a lot and I want to use some features in upstream. For example, write_barrier and io_limit which are not available in repo's of Debian 7 I am using.

io_limit is recently fixed and I want to depend on this fix if I can.
axboe/fio@ac00233

Aside this fix, its behavior is subtly different from Debian's fio 2.0.8.

Can I write tests that depend on upstream fio?

Installing fio is a piece of cake. I recommend all users of dmts install the upstream fio because fio is frequently used in dmts, hence the behavior should not be different.

Yep, you can use whatever you want. Adding a check that you're using the
right version of fio would be helpful.
