[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 6/8] blk-mq: allow 4x BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT at blk_plug for multiple_queues

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-09-17 02:35:37
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

From: Song Liu <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 7f2a6a69f7ced6db8220298e0497cf60482a9d4b ]

Limiting number of request to BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT at blk_plug hurts
performance for large md arrays. [1] shows resync speed of md array drops
for md array with more than 16 HDDs.

Fix this by allowing more request at plug queue. The multiple_queue flag
is used to only apply higher limit to multiple queue cases.
