SQE group introduces one new mechanism to share resource among one
group of requests, and all member requests can consume the resource
leased by group leader efficiently in parallel.
This patch uses the added SQE group to lease kernel buffer from group
leader(driver) to members(io_uring) in sqe group:
- this kernel buffer is owned by kernel device(driver), and has very
short lifetime, such as, it is often aligned with block IO lifetime
- group leader leases the kernel buffer from driver to member requests
of io_uring subsystem
- member requests uses the leased buffer to do FS or network IO, or
more operations in future; IOSQE_IO_DRAIN bit isn't used for group
member IO, so it is mapped to GROUP_KBUF; the actual use becomes
very similar with buffer select.
- this kernel buffer is returned back after all member requests consume it
io_uring builtin provide/register buffer isn't one good match for this
use case:
- complicated dependency on add/remove buffer
this buffer has to be added/removed to one global table by add/remove OPs,
and all consumer OPs have to sync with the add/remove OPs; either
consumer OPs have to by issued one by one with IO_LINK; or two extra
syscall are added for one time of buffer consumption, this way slows
down ublk io handling, and may lose zero copy value
- application becomes more complicated
- application may panic and the kernel buffer is left in io_uring, which
complicates io_uring shutdown handling since returning back buffer
needs to cowork with buffer owner
- big change is needed in io_uring provide/register buffer
- the requirement is just to lease the kernel buffer to io_uring subsystem for
very short time, not necessary to move it into io_uring and make it global
This way looks a bit similar with kernel's pipe/splice, but there are some
important differences:
- splice is for transferring data between two FDs via pipe, and fd_out can
only read data from pipe, but data can't be written to; this feature can
lease buffer from group leader(driver subsystem) to members(io_uring subsystem),
so member request can write data to this buffer if the buffer direction is
allowed to write to.
- splice implements data transfer by moving pages between subsystem and
pipe, that means page ownership is transferred, and this way is one of the
most complicated thing of splice; this patch supports scenarios in which
the buffer can't be transferred, and buffer is only borrowed to member
requests for consumption, and is returned back after member requests
consume the leased buffer, so buffer lifetime is aligned with group leader
lifetime, and buffer lifetime is simplified a lot. Especially the buffer
is guaranteed to be returned back.
- splice can't run in async way basically
It can help to implement generic zero copy between device and related
operations, such as ublk, fuse, vdpa.
