[PATCH v14 04/19] block/mq-deadline: Only use zone locking if necessary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Measurements have shown that limiting the queue depth to one per zone for
zoned writes has a significant negative performance impact on zoned UFS
devices. Hence this patch that disables zone locking by the mq-deadline
scheduler if the storage controller preserves the command order. This
patch is based on the following assumptions:
- It happens infrequently that zoned write requests are reordered by the
  block layer.
- The I/O priority of all write requests is the same per zone.
- Either no I/O scheduler is used or an I/O scheduler is used that
  serializes write requests per zone.
