In case someone would like to see the results of the measurements I ran, these results can be found here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1YQOreL3_FxUXFMSjhmNDBNNTg. Two important conclusions from the data in that PDF document are as follows: - A small but significant performance improvement for the traditional SCSI mid-layer (use_blk_mq=N). - A very significant performance improvement for multithreaded workloads with use_blk_mq=Y. As an example, the number of I/O operations per second reported for the random write test increased with 170%. That means 2.7 times the performance of use_blk_mq=N. I think this means the scsi-mq patches are ready for wider use.
