Multishot completions currently all go through io_post_aux_cqe which will do a lock/unlock pair of the completion spinlock, and also possibly signal an eventfd if registered. This can slow down applications that use these features. This series allows the posted completions to be batched using the same IO_URING_F_COMPLETE_DEFER as exists for non multishot completions. A critical property of this is that all multishot completions must be flushed to the CQ ring before the non-multishot completion (say an error) or else ordering will break. This implies that if some completions were deferred, then the rest must also be to keep that ordering. In order to do this the first few patches move all the completion code into a simpler path that defers completions when possible. The batching is done by keeping an array of 16 CQEs, and adding to it rather than posting immediately. If it fills up the posting happens then. A microbenchmark was run ([1]) to test this and showed a 2.3x rps improvment (8.3 M/s vs 19.3 M/s). Patches 1-3 clean up the completion paths Patch 4 introduces the cqe array Patch 5 allows io_post_aux_cqe to use the cqe array to defer completions Patches 6-8 are small cleanups Patch 9 enables defered completions for multishot polled requests v3: - rebase onto recent changes. A lot of duplicate changes so dropped 4 patches v2: - Rebase. This includes having to deal with the allow_overflow flag - split io_post_aux_cqe up - remove msg_ring changes (as not needed) - add the patch 10-12 cleanups [1]: https://github.com/DylanZA/liburing/commit/9ac66b36bcf4477bfafeff1c5f107896b7ae31cf Run with $ make -j && ./benchmark/reg.b -s 1 -t 2000 -r 10 Dylan Yudaken (9): io_uring: io_req_complete_post should defer if available io_uring: always lock in io_apoll_task_func io_uring: defer all io_req_complete_failed io_uring: allow defer completion for aux posted cqes io_uring: add io_aux_cqe which allows deferred completion io_uring: make io_fill_cqe_aux static io_uring: add lockdep assertion in io_fill_cqe_aux io_uring: remove overflow param from io_post_aux_cqe io_uring: allow multishot polled reqs to defer completion include/linux/io_uring_types.h | 2 + io_uring/io_uring.c | 101 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- io_uring/io_uring.h | 9 ++- io_uring/msg_ring.c | 4 +- io_uring/net.c | 7 ++- io_uring/poll.c | 9 +-- io_uring/rsrc.c | 4 +- 7 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) base-commit: 6321e75e0bc52b0feff9643292acc92494c00e8d -- 2.30.2
