From 895e3c5c58a80bb9e4e05d9ac38b4f30e0f97d80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: majianpeng Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:05:44 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE. 'sync' writes set both REQ_SYNC and REQ_NOIDLE. O_DIRECT writes set REQ_SYNC but not REQ_NOIDLE. We currently assume that a REQ_SYNC request will not be followed by more requests and so set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE to expedite the request. This is appropriate for sync requests, but not for O_DIRECT requests. So make the setting of STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE conditional on REQ_NOIDLE rather than REQ_SYNC. This is consistent with the documented meaning of REQ_NOIDLE: __REQ_NOIDLE, /* don't anticipate more IO after this one */ Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma Signed-off-by: NeilBrown --- Reading git-format-patch failed
