what did you mean 'huge' I/O (20M/s)? Is it possible you can reproduce the
issue with a raw raid5 raid? It would be even better if you can give me a fio
job file with the issue, so I can easily debug it.

also please check if upstream patch (e8d7c33 md/raid5: limit request size
according to implementation limits) helps.

Thanks,
