Subject: [patch]raid5: make_request does less prepare wait
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2014 12:05:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140408040507.GA20886@kernel.org> (raw)


In NUMA machine, prepare_to_wait/finish_wait in make_request exposes a lot of
contention for sequential workload (or big request size workload). For such
workload, each bio includes several stripes. So we can just do
prepare_to_wait/finish_wait once for the whold bio instead of every stripe.
This reduces the lock contention completely for such workload. Random workload
might have the similar lock contention too, but I didn't see it yet, maybe
because my stroage is still not fast enough.
