Fork of reMarkable kernel https://github.com/reMarkable/linux

Lot of controllers may have only one irq vector for completing IO request. And usually affinity of the only irq vector is all possible CPUs, however, on most of ARCH, there may be only one specific CPU for handling this interrupt. So if all IOs are completed in hardirq context, it is inevitable to degrade IO performance because of increased irq latency. This patch tries to address this issue by allowing to complete request in softirq context, like the legacy IO path. IOPS is observed as ~13%+ in the following randread test on raid0 over virtio-scsi. mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --chunk=1024 --raid-devices=8 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi fio --time_based --name=benchmark --runtime=30 --filename=/dev/md0 --nrfiles=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 --verify_fatal=0 --numjobs=32 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k Cc: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> Cc: Zach Marano <zmarano@google.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Cc: Jianchao Wang <jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
