Subject: [PATCH 7/8] md/raid5: raise MAX_STRIPE_BATCH from 8 to 32
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 08:54:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624155452.211646-8-nishidafmly@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624155452.211646-1-nishidafmly@gmail.com>

handle_active_stripes() dequeues up to MAX_STRIPE_BATCH stripes under
device_lock per pass, then processes them after dropping the lock.
Raising the batch from 8 to 32 amortizes each device_lock acquisition
over more stripes, reducing lock cycles per unit of stripe work.

The worker-spawn heuristic in raid5_wakeup_stripe_thread() also divided
by MAX_STRIPE_BATCH; split it into a separate STRIPE_BATCH_WORKERS=8 so
the spawn sensitivity is preserved unchanged while the batch size grows.
