Summary: mptsas & poor performance
Product: SCSI Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.34-020634rc1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Other
AssignedTo: scsi_drivers-other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: bexamous@gmail.com
Regression: No
The mptsas module from LSI's website, v4.18.00.00, performs much better than
the mptsas module included in the kernel, v3.something.
I'm only comparing sequential writes (dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=1M), but...
6 drive MD RAID5 with fresh btrfs, writing 10GB of zeros with dd,
kernel version: <200MB/sec
LSI's v4.18.00.00: 395MB/sec
Pretty big difference. I've gone back and forth a few times,
enabling/disabling write cache on the drives, enabling/disabling ioc,
enabling/disabling filesystem barriers... I can make small changes in
performance but nothing compares to simply updating to v4.18.00.00.

(switched to email. Please respond via emailed reply-to-all, not via the
bugzilla web interface).
scsi_drivers-other reports don't appear to be coming out on the
linux-scsi list.
