Re: IORING_SEND_NOTIF_REPORT_USAGE (was Re: IORING_CQE_F_COPIED)

Hi Pavel,

So far I came up with a IORING_SEND_NOTIF_REPORT_USAGE opt-in flag
and the reporting is done in cqe.res with IORING_NOTIF_USAGE_ZC_USED (0x00000001)
and/or IORING_NOTIF_USAGE_ZC_COPIED (0x8000000). So the caller is also
able to notice that some parts were able to use zero copy, while other
fragments were copied.

Are we really interested in multihoming and probably some very edge cases?
I'd argue we're not and it should be a single bool hint indicating whether
zc is viable or not. It can do more complex calculations _if_ needed, e.g.
looking inside skb's and figure out how many bytes were copied but as for me
it should better be turned into a single bool in the end. Could also be the
number of bytes copied, but I don't think we can't have the accuracy for
that (e.g. what we're going to return if some protocol duplicates an skb
and sends to 2 different devices or is processing it in a pipeline?)

So the question is what is the use case for having 2 flags?

It's mostly for debugging.

btw, now we've got another example why the report flag is a good idea,

I don't understand that line...

we can't use cqe.res unconditionally because we want to have a "one CQE
per request" mode, but it's fine if we make it and the report flag
mutually exclusive.

You mean we can add an optimized case where SEND[MSG]_ZC would not
generate F_MORE and skips F_NOTIF, because we copied or the transmission
path was really fast?

Then I'd move to IORING_CQE_F_COPIED again...

I haven't tested it yet, but I want to post it early...

What do you think?

Keeping in mind potential backporting let's make it as simple and
short as possible first and then do optimisations on top.

ok.

Just shove all that into __io_notif_complete_tw().

Ok, and then optimze later?

flag...

It's fine but racy, so let's WRITE_ONCE() to indicate it.

I don't see how this could be a problem, but I can add it.

IIRC io_notif_data is fully packed in 6.1, so placing zc_{used,copied}
there might complicate backporting (if any). We can place them in io_kiocb
directly and move in 6.2. Alternatively account_pages doesn't have to be
long.

As far as I can see kernel-dk-block/io_uring-6.1 alread has your
shrink patches included...
