Subject: [RFC PATCH] raid6_pq: Add module options to prefer algorithm
Date: Fri, 4 May 2018 03:15:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180504001541.2068-1-nefelim4ag@gmail.com> (raw)
Skip testing unnecessary algorithms to speedup module initialization
For my systems:
Before: 1.510s (initrd)
After: 977ms (initrd) # I set prefer to fastest algorithm
Dmesg after patch:
[ 1.190042] raid6: avx2x4 gen() 28153 MB/s
[ 1.246683] raid6: avx2x4 xor() 19440 MB/s
[ 1.246684] raid6: using algorithm avx2x4 gen() 28153 MB/s
[ 1.246684] raid6: .... xor() 19440 MB/s, rmw enabled
[ 1.246685] raid6: using avx2x2 recovery algorithm
