Hi Vivek,

I re-run the fio test under V6 for normal reads and writes with fairness == 0.
It seems the performance gets a little better for normal writes than before.


Mode Normal read | Random read | Normal write | Random write

2.6.31-rc1 53,547KiB/s 2,894KiB/s 44,088KiB/s 8,450KiB/s

V6(fairness = 0) 53,199KiB/s 2,847KiB/s 41,898KiB/s 8,582KiB/s

Performance 0% -1.6% -4.9% +1.5%
