Subjectloop block-mq conversion scalability issues
From
Date
The block-mq conversion for loop in 4.0 kernels is showing us an
interesting scalability problem with live CDs (ro, squashfs). It was
noticed when testing the Fedora beta that the more CPUs a liveCD image
was given, the slower it would boot. A 4 core qemu instance or bare
metal instance took more than twice as long to boot compared to a single
CPU instance. After investigating, this came directly to the block-mq
conversion, reverting these 4 patches will return performance. More
details are available at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210857
I don't think that reverting the patches is the ideal solution so I am
looking for other options. Since you know this code a bit better than I
do I thought I would run it by you while I am looking as well.

Thanks,
Justin
