I thought that in the Linux raid 5, there is not a fixed or dedicated parity disk, but that a stride may be in one disk, the next on another.

That is definition of RAID5, unrelated to Linux.

That should distribute the load, and not force to always read write to the P disk, on all ops.

And RAID with single parity disk is RAID4.
