Multithread raid5: Is check-for-completions also multithreaded (using async_xor) ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All,
With multithread raid5 enabled (echo 48 > /sys/block/md51/md/group_thread_cnt)  what I understand is that all the cpu cores will be able to submit   async_xor  instructions in parallel for a single md raid5  device.

Question: About polling for completion, is that also multi-threaded ? - Does the same number of worker threads (48 in my test) will continue poll for XOR completion as well ? 
My multi-core SoC  has  XOR/GF offload channel, and I am trying to see how to get the best throughput for raid5 rebuild using multithread functionality.

Regards
Vikas Aggarwal
