I did the same test on my environment (2.6.31 + dm-ioband v1.13.0) and
here are the results.
The number of sectors transferred
writers read write total
1 800696 588600 1389296
2 747704 430736 1178440
3 757136 455808 1212944
4 704888 562912 1267800
5 788760 387672 1176432
6 730664 495832 1226496
7 765864 427384 1193248
I got the different results to yours, the total throughput did not
decreased according to increasing the number of writers. I've attached
the outputs of the test script. Please note that the format of
"dmsetup status" have been changed like /sys/block/dev/stat file.
