The sloppy nature of lockless access to percpu pointers (s->current_path) in rr_select_path(), from multiple threads, is causing some paths to used more than others -- which results in less IO performance being observed. Revert these upstream commits to restore truly symmetric round-robin IO submission in DM multipath:b0b477cdm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'802934bdm round robin: do not use this_cpu_ptr() without having preemption disabled There is no benefit to all this complexity if repeat_count = 1 (which is the recommended default).
