This will affect the multi-thread polling performance. I tested
dm-stripe, in which every bio will be split and enqueued into all
underlying devices, and thus amplify the interference between multiple
threads.
Test Result:
IOPS: 332k (IRQ) -> 363k (iopoll), aka ~10% performance gain
Test Environment:
nvme.poll_queues = 3
BLK_BIO_POLL_SQ_SZ = 128
dmsetup create testdev --table "0 629145600 striped 3 8 /dev/nvme0n1 0
/dev/nvme1n1 0 /dev/nvme4n1 0"
