Subject: [PATCH RESEND v3 1/3] lib/raid6: Divide the raid6 algorithm selection process into two parts
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:07:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320060750.31334-2-sunliming@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320060750.31334-1-sunliming@linux.dev>

From: sunliming <sunliming@kylinos.cn>

Divide the RAID6 algorithm selection process into two parts: fast selection
and benchmark selection. To prepare for the asynchronous processing of
the benchmark phase.

Signed-off-by: sunliming <sunliming@kylinos.cn>
