To improve write perfomance by decreasing the preread stripe,only move IO_THRESHOLD stripes from delay_list to hold_list once. Using the follow command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=2M count=52100. At default condition: speed is 95MB/s. At the condition of preread_bypass_threshold was equal zero:speed is 105MB/s. Using this patch:speed is 123MB/s. If preread_bypass_threshold was zero,the performance will be better,but not better than this patch. I think maybe two reason: 1:If bio is REQ_SYNC 2:In function __get_priority_stripe(): >> } else if (!list_empty(&conf->hold_list) && >> ((conf->bypass_threshold && >> conf->bypass_count > conf->bypass_threshold) || >> atomic_read(&conf->pending_full_writes) == 0)) { Preread_bypass_threshold is one condition of getting stripe from hold_list.So only control the number of hold_list can get better performance.
