John - I did more testing on v8 wip branch. CPU hotplug is working as expected, but I still see some performance issue on Logical Volumes. I created 8 Drives Raid-0 VD on MR controller and below is performance impact of this RFC. Looks like contention is on single <sdev>. I used command - "numactl -N 1 fio 1vd.fio --iodepth=128 --bs=4k --rw=randread --cpus_allowed_policy=split --ioscheduler=none --group_reporting --runtime=200 --numjobs=1" IOPS without RFC = 300K IOPS with RFC = 230K.
