Chunk aligned read significantly reduces CPU usage of raid456. However, it is not safe to fully bypass the write back cache. This patch enables chunk aligned read with write back cache. For chunk aligned read, we track stripes in write back cache at a bigger granularity, "big_stripe". Each chunk may contain more than one stripe (for example, a 256kB chunk contains 64 4kB-page, so this chunk contain 64 stripes). For chunk_aligned_read, these stripes are grouped into one big_stripe, so we only need one lookup for the whole chunk. For each big_stripe, struct big_stripe_info tracks how many stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. We count how many stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. These counters are tracked in a radix tree (big_stripe_tree). r5c_tree_index() is used to calculate keys for the radix tree. chunk_aligned_read() calls r5c_big_stripe_cached() to look up big_stripe of each chunk in the tree. If this big_stripe is in the tree, chunk_aligned_read() aborts. This look up is protected by rcu_read_lock(). It is necessary to remember whether a stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. Instead of adding new flag, we reuses existing flags: STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE. If either of these two flags are set, the stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. This requires moving set_bit(STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE) to r5c_try_caching_write(); and moving clear_bit of STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE to r5c_finish_stripe_write_out().

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
