usefulness of kernel option: RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 Multicore processing
 

Hi,

how useful is enabling

RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 Multicore processing

in the kernel configuration?

It's an experimental option in 2.6.35.6, and google only showed that
there have been some problems with it in older kernels.

Has anyone enabled it and does it work? Is it working stable enough to
turn it on?

It does get faster. But is it the bottleneck in your system? Do you
have a slow CPU, or extremely fast backing storage for it to matter?

Does it look like it is "clearly stable enough", and therefore widely
used, if you had to ask about it here in the first place?

I don't know if it would matter, but when things get faster with it
enabled, it seems to be a good thing.

Why are you asking this rather than giving a meaningful answer? What's
your experience with this option? Do you really think nobody (except
kernel developers maybe) has enabled kernel options that are
"experimental"?
