Subject: [PATCH md-6.9 v4 03/11] md/raid1: record nonrot rdevs while adding/removing rdevs to conf

From: Yu Kuai <[email protected]>

For raid1, each read will iterate all the rdevs from conf and check if
any rdev is non-rotational, then choose rdev with minimal IO inflight
if so, or rdev with closest distance otherwise.

Disk nonrot info can be changed through sysfs entry:

/sys/block/[disk_name]/queue/rotational

However, consider that this should only be used for testing, and user
really shouldn't do this in real life. Record the number of non-rotational
disks in conf, to avoid checking each rdev in IO fast path and simplify
read_balance() a little bit.

The comma is not needed.

> read_balance() a little bit.

Just to make sure, I understood correctly. Changing
`/sys/block/[disk_name]/queue/rotational` will now not be considered
anymore, right?

For the summary, maybe you could also say “cache”. Maybe:

Cache attribute rotational while adding/removing rdevs to conf

As you meant “fastpath” in the commit message, if I remember correctly,
this does not improve the performance in benchmarks, right?


Kind regards,

Yes, and I think this will case performance to be worse in real life.

Yest, this just safe some memory load command, this is to little to
affect performance benchmarks. Main ideal here is make read_balance()
cleaner.
