Hi,

While upgrading kernel from 4.19 to 5.10, I found that fio 1 thread 4k
sequential io performance is dropped(160Mib -> 100 Mib), root cause is
that queue_depth is changed from 64 to 256.

And with the default nr_requests 256, 256 queue_depth will make the
elevator has no effect, specifically io can't be merged in this test
case. Hence it doesn't make sense to me to set default queue_depth to
256.

Is there any reason why MEGASAS_SAS_QD is changed to 64?

Thanks,

Which type of drive do you use?

JFYI, in case missed, there was this discussion on SCSI queue depth a while ago:

Thanks,
