Sysbench fileio (random read/write mix) -15% Tiobench sequential write -3% Tiobench random write -5% Iozone record re-write -21% Iozone mmap sequential read -20% Iozone mmap random write +45% Aio-stress direct sequential read +29% For other 3 tiobench, 7 aiostress and 13 iozone tests the result changes are less than variation. Considered patch does not impact on performance if all threads have equal IO activity (tiobench). If single thread has IO activity the performance becomes unstable and is decreased mainly.
