Subject: [PATCH RESEND v3 2/3] lib/raid6: Optimizing the raid6_select_algo time through asynchronous processing
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:07:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320060750.31334-3-sunliming@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320060750.31334-1-sunliming@linux.dev>
From: sunliming <sunliming@kylinos.cn>
Optimizing the raid6_select_algo time. In raid6_select_algo(), an raid6 gen
algorithm is first selected quickly through synchronous processing, while
the time-consuming process of selecting the optimal algorithm via benchmarking
is handled asynchronously. This approach speeds up the overall startup time
and ultimately ensures the selection of an optimal algorithm.
