The atomic use in the main I/O path is causing perf issues when using higher performance backend devices and multiple queues (more than 10 when using vhost-scsi) like with this fio workload: [global] bs=4K iodepth=128 direct=1 ioengine=libaio group_reporting time_based runtime=120 name=standard-iops rw=randread numjobs=16 cpus_allowed=0-15 To fix this issue, move the LUN stats to per CPU. Note: I forgot to include this patch with the delayed/ordered per CPU tracking and per device/device entry per CPU stats. With this patch you get the full 33% improvements when using fast backends, multiple queues and multiple IO submiters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
