Changes in v2:
- Add message of performance in cover.
- Fix a problem of error code initialization in patch 6.
- Fix a problem of sleeping during rcu_read_lock() in patch 9.
- Change base-commit from md-6.9 to md-6.10
Currently, active_aligned_reads and nr_pending used as counters are atomic types.
Therefore, when inc/dec in a multi-core results in conflicts and READ I/O becomes slow.
To improve performance, use "percpu_ref" counters that can avoid conflicts and maintain consistency.
Switch modes of percpu_ref to achieve both consistency and conflict avoidance.
During normal operations such as inc/dec, it operates as percpu mode.
When consistency is required, it operates as atomic mode.
The operations that require consistency are as follows:
- Zero check for the counter
- All operations in RAID 1/10
Patches 1, 3, 6 change active_aligned_reads, and patches 2, 4, 5, 7 to 11 change nr_pending.
nr_pending temporarily switch from percpu mode to atomic mode in patch 7.
This is to reduce the amount of changes from patches 8 to 10.
Finally, nr_pending switch from atomic mode to percpu mode in patch 11.
We applied the patch to base-commit and used fio to compare IOPS.
CPU: AMD EPYC 7313P (3.0GHz, 16cores)
DISK: ramdisk x 3 (modprobe brd rd_nr=3)
RAID: level 5
fio config: bs=4k, rw=randread, iodepth=128, numjobs=16
without patch: 3.64 MIOPS
with patch : 3.84 MIOPS

Hi Tada
Thanks for the patch set. Have you done tests with nvme/ssd or hdd?
It's better to see the results with real disks.
Best Regards
