Dear Yu,


Thank you for your patch.

For raid1, each read will iterate all the rdevs from conf and check if
any rdev is non-rotational, then choose rdev with minimal IO inflight
if so, or rdev with closest distance otherwise.

Disk nonrot info can be changed through sysfs entry:

/sys/block/[disk_name]/queue/rotational

However, consider that this should only be used for testing, and user
really shouldn't do this in real life. Record the number of non-rotational
disks in conf, to avoid checking each rdev in IO fast path and simplify

The comma is not needed.

read_balance() a little bit.

Just to make sure, I understood correctly. Changing `/sys/block/[disk_name]/queue/rotational` will now not be considered anymore, right?

For the summary, maybe you could also say “cache”. Maybe:

Cache attribute rotational while adding/removing rdevs to conf

As you meant “fastpath” in the commit message, if I remember correctly, this does not improve the performance in benchmarks, right?


Kind regards,
