I made a blindless average:
N MB/s IOPS case
0 114.859 984.148 Unpatched, 128KB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
1 122.960 981.213 Unpatched, 512KB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
2 120.709 985.111 Unpatched, 2MB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
3 158.732 1004.714 Unpatched, 512KB readahead, 64 max_sectors_kb
4 159.237 979.659 Unpatched, 2MB readahead, 64 max_sectors_kb
5 114.583 982.998 Patched, 128KB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
6 124.902 987.523 Patched, 512KB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
7 127.373 984.848 Patched, 2MB readahead, 512 max_sectors_kb
8 161.218 986.698 Patched, 512KB readahead, 64 max_sectors_kb
9 163.908 574.651 Patched, 2MB readahead, 64 max_sectors_kb
So before/after patch:
avg throughput 135.299 => 138.397 by +2.3%
avg IOPS 986.969 => 903.344 by -8.5%
The IOPS is a bit weird.
Summaries:
- this patch improves RAID throughput by +2.3% on average
- after this patch, 2MB readahead performs slightly better
(by 1-2%) than 512KB readahead
Thanks,
Fengguang
