Mr. Mamedov,
This has been corrected. Thanks.
Also, the link you sent me wasn't too helpful, and neither is the
"computers" link:

Perhaps the term is wrong altogether and should be changed to something
else.
Thanks,
Roy Keene

Below is a patch that adds support for an alternate read balancing
strategy that blindly performs read round-robbin to the MD RAID1 driver.
This can be configure per array via sysfs. The default behaviour is to
preserve existing behaviour (biased read balancing)
I am looking for comments and possible inclusion upstream.
The motivation behind this is that during a sequential read, under some
circumstances balancing the I/O through the paths produces better
throughput than reading sequentially from one device.
The term is "round-robin", not "robbin", you may want to correct the word
everywhere, most importantly in the actual patch.
