The same addressing rules are applied to the parity disks because they are used as data disks during recovery operations.

/*
|
|
* Memory displacement to avoid L1 cache set aliasing and 4K aliasing penalties
|
|
* on contiguous blocks, used by raid_malloc_vector().
|
|
*
|
|
* When allocating a sequence of disk buffers with a size that is a large
|
|
* power of 2 (or multiples of 4KB/2MB), their starting addresses naturally
|
|
* map to the exact same sets in the L1 Data Cache. If these blocks are
|
|
* accessed in parallel during SIMD parity generation, the memory streams
|
|
* will constantly evict each other, resulting in severe cache thrashing.
|
|
* * Furthermore, if buffers are separated by exact multiples of 4096 bytes,
|
|
* modern CPUs suffer a "4K Aliasing" penalty. The memory disambiguation unit
|
|
* misidentifies the lower 12-bits of the addresses as a match, attempting
|
|
* invalid Store-to-Load Forwarding which results in a ~20-cycle pipeline flush.
|
|
*
|
|
* To eliminate both bottlenecks, each disk buffer is allocated with a dynamic
|
|
* displacement of (X * 64 bytes). The optimal 'X' balances two hardware rules:
|
|
* 1. L1 Capacity: The cycle of utilized L1 sets must be >= the number of disks.
|
|
* 2. 4K Aliasing: 'X' should be as close to 32 (2048 bytes) as possible to
|
|
* maximize the distance from 4096-byte boundaries.
|
|
*
|
|
* The multiplier 'X' scales dynamically based on the disk count (nd):
|
|
* - nd <= 8 -> 24 * 64: Cycle of 8. Safest distance from 4K boundaries.
|
|
* - nd <= 16 -> 28 * 64: Cycle of 16. Widely disperses memory streams across
|
|
* the cache, preventing hardware prefetcher clustering.
|
|
* - nd <= 32 -> 30 * 64: Cycle of 32. Tighter L1 packing.
|
|
* - nd <= 64 -> 33 * 64: Cycle of 64. 33 and 64 are coprime, guaranteeing up
|
|
* to 64 streams never collide in L1 or trigger 4K stalls.
|
|
*
|
|
* These are the results in MB/s with no displacement:
|
|
*
|
|
* RAID functions used for computing the parity with 'sync':
