Ah, I forget about the kthread.
My question about CPU usage must be due to the kthread.
Also I could confirm that the sequential access pattern as you did shows
good performance.
While the very random access shows worse, it is a positive effect of
loopback caching as you wrote in your first reply.

Thank you very much.
