Pavol Domin, in order to maximize the probability of upstream addressing
this issue as fast as possible, you would want to fully commit bisect
from kernel 3.19 to 4.2 in order to identify the last good kernel
commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. Could you please do
this at your convenience following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
