[PATCH 7/8] raid6: improve the runtime selection benchmark

Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.raid,gmane.linux.kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Use plain ktime_get_ns for the timing, use 8 + 2 disks for a realistic
load, and report the throughput on the data disks as that is what
storage systems are measured on.
