FYI, with these changes my single NUMA node testbed's read IOPs went from: ~1310K to ~1410K w/ nr_hw_queues dm-mq=4 and null_blk=4 ~1330K to ~1415K w/ nr_hw_queues dm-mq=4 and null_blk=12 ~1365K to ~1425K w/ nr_hw_queues dm-mq=12 and null_blk=12 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
