The slight single-LUN regression is gone, peak IOPS with use_blk_mq=Y on my test setup is now 3x the performance of use_blk_mq=N and latency has been reduced further. I think this means reducing the number of context switches did really help :-) Detailed measurement results can be found on https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1YQOreL3_FxWmZfbl8xSzRfdGM/. If you want you may add to the scsi-mq-v2 patch series: Tested-by: Bart Van Assche Bart.
