This was copy mistake, checked the raw output, with patch write BW is 3144MB/s.

will fix in next version.

will also adapt the subject with "md/raid1" prefix.

No, this one is call from
raid1_write_request->wait_barrier->_wait_barrier. and it can be seen
via perf.

No, this one is call from raid1_read_request-> wait_read_barrier, it
can be seen via perf results.

you meant this one:
1583         /* In case raid1d snuck in to freeze_array */
1584         wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier);
1585 }

perf result doesn't show it, I will add it too.
