Andy reported that raid10 array with SSD disks has poor read performance. Compared with raid1, RAID-1 can be 3x faster than RAID-10 sometimes [1]. The thing is that raid10 chooses the low distance disk for read request, however, the approach doesn't work well for SSD device since it doesn't have spindle like HDD, we should just read from the SSD which has less pending IO like commit 9dedf603 ("md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD"). So this commit selects the idlest SSD disk for read if array has none rotational disk, otherwise, read_balance uses the previous distance priority algorithm. With the change, the performance of raid10 gets increased largely per Andy's test [2].
