do this to avoid race below:
userspace kernel
| check sqring and iopoll_list
submit sqe |
check IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP |
(which is not set) | |
| set IORING_SQ_NEED_WAKEUP
wait cqe | schedule(never wakeup again)

Hi all,
I'm doing some work to reduce cpu usage in low IO pression, and I
removed timeout logic in io_sq_thread() to do some test with fio-3.26,
I found that fio hangs in getevents, inifinitely trying to get a cqe,
While sq-thread is sleeping. It seems there is race situation, and it
is still there even after I fix the issue described above in the commit
message. I doubt it is something to do with memory barrier logic
between userspace and kernel, I'm trying to address it, not many clues
for now.
I'll send the fio config and kernel modification I did for test in
following mail soon.
fio test config:
[global]
ioengine=io_uring
sqthread_poll=1
hipri=1
thread=1
bs=4k
direct=1
rw=randread
time_based=1
runtime=30
group_reporting=1
filename=/dev/nvme1n1
sqthread_poll_cpu=30
[job0]
iodepth=1
the issue mainly occur when iodepth=1 during my test.
I removed timeout logic in io_sq_thread() like this:
