In RAID5, if issued bio size is bigger than stripe_size, it will be
split in the unit of stripe_size and process them one by one. Even
for size less then stripe_size, RAID5 also request data from disk at
least of stripe_size.
Nowdays, stripe_size is equal to the value of PAGE_SIZE. Since filesystem
usually issue bio in the unit of 4KB, there is no problem for PAGE_SIZE
as 4KB. But, for 64KB PAGE_SIZE, bio from filesystem requests 4KB data
while RAID5 issue IO at least stripe_size (64KB) each time. That will
waste resource of disk bandwidth and compute xor.
To avoding the waste, we want to make stripe_size configurable. This
patch just set default stripe_size as 4096. User can also set the value
bigger than 4KB for some special requirements, such as we know the
issued io size is more than 4KB.
To evaluate the new feature, we create raid5 device '/dev/md5' with
4 SSD disk and test it on arm64 machine with 64KB PAGE_SIZE.
1) We format /dev/md5 with mkfs.ext4 and mount ext4 with default
configure on /mnt directory. Then, trying to test it by dbench with
command: dbench -D /mnt -t 1000 10. Result show as:
'stripe_size = 64KB'

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.
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.
