Enhance performance by adding sequential stream detection for RAID5/RAID6 sequential write requests. Reduce stripe lock contention with full-stripe write operations. There is one common stripe lock for each RAID volume that can be set by either the RAID engine or the AIO engine. The AIO path has I/O request sizes well below the stripe size resulting in many Read-Modify-Write operations. Sending the request to the RAID engine allows for coalescing requests into full stripe operations resulting in reduced Read-Modify-Write operations.

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 Restructured Text 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.
