From 37a098e9d10db6e2efc05fe61e3a6ff2e9802c53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 23:57:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm round robin: revert "use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'" The sloppy nature of lockless access to percpu pointers (s->current_path) in rr_select_path(), from multiple threads, is causing some paths to used more than others -- which results in less IO performance being observed. Revert these upstream commits to restore truly symmetric round-robin IO submission in DM multipath: b0b477c dm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path' 802934b dm round robin: do not use this_cpu_ptr() without having preemption disabled There is no benefit to all this complexity if repeat_count = 1 (which is the recommended default).
