Dear Yu,


Thank you for your patch. Some minor nits from my side, you can also ignore.

Commit 0c0be98bbe67 ("md/raid10: prevent unnecessary calls to wake_up()
in fast path") missed one place, for example, while testing with:

… one place. For example, with


fio -direct=1 -rw=write/randwrite -iodepth=1 ...

Then plug and unplug will be called for each io, then wake_up() from

Maybe:

    fio -direct=1 -rw=write/randwrite -iodepth=1 ...

plug und unplug are called for each io, then …

raid10_unplug() will cause lock contention as well.

Maybe paste the perf command and output?

Avoid this contention by using wake_up_barrier() instead of wake_up(),
where spin_lock is not held while waitqueue is empty.

It’d be great if you added also the test results to the commit message.

By the way, in this scenario, each blk_plug_cb() will be allocated and
freed for each io, this seems need to be optimized as well.
