Title:
  A severe performance degradation while syncing md raid after the
  upgrade to 15.10

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I run Ubuntu from the fakerade (imsm) raid5 volume. If the volume is
  syncing, the system response is severely degraded. There is no problem
  if I boot the same system from the previous kernel 3.19.0-32. Some
  numbers:

  [md125_resync] kernel thread CPU consumption: 94 per-mill compared to 10 in 3.19 kernel
  [md125_raid5] kernel thread CPU consumption: 243 per-mill compared to 86 in 3.19 kernel
  1MB direct read from md array: 0.5s compared to 0.01s in 3.19 kernel
  1MB direct read from md raid member: 2.2s compared to 0.02s in 3.19 kernel

  As a result, it's practically impossible to work in 4.2 kernel if md
  raid is syncing (even the boot takes several minutes here), whereas in
  3.19 I don't feel any performance degradation at all, regardless the
  raid volume is syncing or not.
