raid5: speedup sync_request processing
The raid5 sync_request() processing calls handle_stripe() within the context of the resync-thread. The resync-thread issues the first set of read requests and this adds execution latency and slows down the scheduling of the next sync_request(). The current rebuild/resync speed of raid5 is not much faster than what rotational HDDs can sustain. Testing the following patch on a 6-drive array, I can increase the rebuild speed from 100 MB/s to 175 MB/s. The sync_request() now just sets STRIPE_HANDLE and releases the stripe. This creates some more parallelism between the resync-thread and raid5 kernel daemon. Signed-off-by: Eivind Sarto <esarto@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
