Yes, it was misconfiguration on our side: readahead size was not set
correctly on all devices. In the correct configuration context based RA
shows constant advantage over the current vanilla algorithm, but not as
much as I would expect. It still performs considerably worse, than in
case when all the IO threads work in the same IO context. To remind, our
setup and tests described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/12/277.

Here are the conclusions from tests:

1. Making all IO threads work in the same IO context with CFQ (vanilla
RA and default RA size) brings near 100% link utilization on single
stream reads (100MB/s) and with deadline about 50% (50MB/s). I.e. there
is 100% improvement of CFQ over deadline. With 2 read streams CFQ has
ever more advantage: >400% (23MB/s vs 5MB/s).

2. All IO threads work in different IO contexts. With vanilla RA and
default RA size CFQ performs 50% worse (48MB/s), even worse than deadline.

3. All IO threads work in different IO contexts. With default RA size
context RA brings on single stream 40% improvement with deadline (71MB/s
vs 51MB/s), no improvement with cfq (48MB/s).

4. All IO threads work in different IO contexts. With higher RA sizes
there is stable 6% improvement with context RA over vanilla RA with CFQ
starting from 20%. Deadline performs similarly. In parallel reads
improvement is bigger: 30% on 4M RA size with deadline (39MB/s vs 27MB/s)

5. All IO threads work in different IO contexts. The best performance
achieved with RA maximum size 4M on both RA algorithms, but starting
from size 1M it starts growing very slowly.

6. Unexpected result. In case, when ll IO threads work in the same IO
context with CFQ increasing RA size *decreases* throughput. I think this
is, because RA requests performed as single big READ requests, while
requests coming from remote clients are much smaller in size (up to
256K), so, when the read by RA data transferred to the remote client on
100MB/s speed, the backstorage media gets rotated a bit, so the next
read request must wait the rotation latency (~0.1ms on 7200RPM). This is
well conforms with (3) above, when context RA has 40% advantage over
vanilla RA with default RA, but much smaller with higher RA.

Bottom line IMHO conclusions:

1. Context RA should be considered after additional examination to
replace current RA algorithm in the kernel

2. It would be better to increase default RA size to 1024K

*AND* one of the following:

3.1. All RA requests should be split in smaller requests with size up to
256K, which should not be merged with any other request

OR

3.2. New RA requests should be sent before the previous one completed to
don't let the storage device rotate too far to need full rotation to
serve the next request.

I like suggestion 3.1 a lot more, since it should be simple to implement
and has the following 2 positive side effects:

1. It would allow to minimize negative effect of higher RA size on the
I/O delay latency by allowing CFQ to switch to too long waiting
requests, when necessary.

2. It would allow better requests pipelining, which is very important to
minimize uplink latency for synchronous requests (i.e. with only one IO
request at time, next request issued, when the previous one completed).
You can see in http://www.3ware.com/kb/article.aspx?id=11050 that 3ware
recommends for maximum performance set max_sectors_kb as low as *64K*
with 16MB RA. It allows to maximize serving commands pipelining. And
this suggestion really works allowing to improve throughput in 50-100%!

Here are the raw numbers. I also attached context RA debug output for
2MB RA size case for your viewing pleasure.
