Currently in md_submit_bio() the incoming request bio is split by
bio_split_to_limits() which makes sure the bio won't exceed
max_hw_sectors of a specific raid level before senting into its
.make_request method.
For raid level 4/5/6 such split method might be problematic and hurt
large read/write perforamnce. Because limits.max_hw_sectors are not
always aligned to limits.io_opt size, the split bio won't be full
stripes covered on all data disks, and will introduce extra read-in I/O.
Even the bio's bi_sector is aligned to limits.io_opt size and large
enough, the resulted split bio is not size-friendly to corresponding
raid456 level.
This patch introduces bio_split_by_io_opt() to solve the above issue,
1, If the incoming bio is not limits.io_opt aligned, split the non-
aligned head part. Then the next one will be aligned.
2, If the imcoming bio is limits.io_opt aligned, and split is necessary,
then try to split a by multiple of limits.io_opt but not exceed
limits.max_hw_sectors.
Then for large bio, the sligned split part will be full-stripes covered
to all data disks, no extra read-in I/Os when rmw_level is 0. And for
rmw_level > 0 condistions, the limits.io_opt aligned bios are welcomed
for performace as well.
This RFC patch only tests on 8 disks raid5 array with 64KiB chunk size.
By this patch, 64KiB chunk size for a 8 disks raid5 array, sequential
write performance increases from 900MiB/s to 1.1GiB/s by fio bs=10M.
If fio bs=488K (exact limits.io_opt size) the peak sequential write
throughput can reach 1.51GiB/s.

The split should be due to:
lim.max_hw_sectors = RAID5_MAX_REQ_STRIPES << RAID5_STRIPE_SHIFT(conf);
Which is introduced by commit:
7e55c60acfbb ("md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()")
And take a quick a look at that, I'm still not sure yet why
max_hw_sectors is limited now, perhaps if chunksize > 256 * stripe_size,
and bio inside one chunk is greater than 256 stripes, such bio can stuck
forever because there are not enough stripes?
Thanks,
Kuai
