Subject: mpt fusion driver performance issue in 2.6.14-rc2
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 11:59:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200509291859.j8TIxKg13339@unix-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)

Something happened in between kernel 2.6.12 and 2.6.14-rc2, where
disk performance went 20X slower on the latest release kernel. I
suspect it has something to do with the fusion driver. This showed
up in the boot log: "mptscsih: ioc0: DV: Release failed." is it
significant?


2.6.12 

[root]# hdparm -t /dev/sdc
 Timing buffered disk reads:  174 MB in  3.03 seconds =  57.44 MB/sec

2.6.14-rc2

[root]# hdparm -t /dev/sdc
 Timing buffered disk reads:    8 MB in  3.16 seconds =   2.53 MB/sec


Partial boot log with 2.6.14-rc2:
