Subject: Bisected: Kernel 4.14 + has 3 times higher write IO latency than
 Kernel 4.4 with raid1

Hi Neil,

For the md higher write IO latency problem, I bisected it to these commits:

4ad23a97 MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending
210f7cd percpu-refcount: support synchronous switch to atomic mode.

Do you maybe have an idea? How can we fix it?

Regards,
Jack Wang
