I needed to inject I/O completion latency in the RAID5/6 codes for
test purpose. I was wondering where would be the good place in
md/raid5.c code to add delay ?
So far I have tried adding mdelay/udelay in raid5_end_write_request()
and it seems it works to increase I/O completion of writes. However,
adding delay in raid5_end_read_request() does not really change the
read I/O latency. Any idea ?

Can Some one help me on this issue ?
Everything comes through md_make_request() in drivers/md/md.c but there
are multiple different bio->bi_end_io functions. We have implemented
custom I/O latency measurement. I've posted the patch to this list some
time ago. So feel free to look how it works as an inspiration.

It introduces its own struct md_bio_private containing the original
bi_end_io function pointer and introduces the md_bio_endio() function as
a generic bi_end_io to be always called before calling the original
bi_end_io function.
I hope this helps! We've reworked this stuff since then a bit more but
it's really beneficial to detect disks which became slow.
