Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> says: The following patches made over Linus's tree remove the atomic use from the main IO path. There was a handful of atomic_longs used just used for stats and a couple atomics used for handling ordered commands. These patches move the stats to per cpu, and moves the ordered tracking to a per cpu counter. With the patches 8K IOPS increases by up to 33% when running fio with numjobs >= 4 and using the vhost-scsi target with virtio-scsi and virtio num_queues >= 4 (jobs and queues match, and virtqueue_size and cmd_per_lun are increased to match the total iodepth of all jobs).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
