NOTE: My question stems from this other U&L Q - What exactly is iodepth in fio?
I want to know how internally FIO sets I/O depth. I.e., one of the parameters we submit to FIO when we run it is "IOdepth" (--iodepth=). How does FIO internally control this parameter with the underlying operating system?
Here is an example of the command that we use to run FIO benchmark:
$ sudo fio --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --refill_buffers
--norandommap --randrepeat=0 --ioengine=libaio --bs=8K --iodepth=72 --numjobs=256
--time_based --runtime=600 --allow_mounted_write=1 --group_reporting --name=benchtest
benchtest: (g=0): rw=randwrite, bs=8K-8K/8K-8K/8K-8K, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=72
As in this example, the value of "iodepth" can be changed. Accordingly, fio is passing this value to the operating system. So how does FIO do this?
If you want an actual problem to be solved:
if I want to write a benchmark program like fio,
how would I control the IO queue depth?

Welcome on the Unix SE! I tried to make your question more acceptable. Give more context, details. Explain, what you want to know what is not on the another question.

@slm I have checked your comment there. However, I have the same question as one of the guys commented there. If it means number of ios at a given time, then doesn't the numjobs parameter do the same thing.
