[PATCH V4 0/8] io_uring: support sqe group and provide group kbuf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The 1st 3 patches are cleanup, and prepare for adding sqe group.

The 4th patch supports generic sqe group which is like link chain, but
allows each sqe in group to be issued in parallel and the group shares
same IO_LINK & IO_DRAIN boundary, so N:M dependency can be supported with
sqe group & io link together. sqe group changes nothing on
IOSQE_IO_LINK.

The 5th patch supports one variant of sqe group: allow members to depend
on group leader, so that kernel resource lifetime can be aligned with
group leader or group, then any kernel resource can be shared in this
sqe group, and can be used in generic device zero copy.

The 6th & 7th patches supports providing sqe group buffer via the sqe
group variant.

The 8th patch supports ublk zero copy based on io_uring providing sqe
group buffer.

Tests:

1) pass liburing test
- make runtests

2) write/pass two sqe group test cases:

https://github.com/axboe/liburing/compare/master...ming1:liburing:sqe_group_v2

- covers related sqe flags combination and linking groups, both nop and
one multi-destination file copy.

- cover failure handling test: fail leader IO or member IO in both single
  group and linked groups, which is done in each sqe flags combination
  test

3) ublksrv zero copy:

ublksrv userspace implements zero copy by sqe group & provide group
kbuf:

	git clone https://github.com/ublk-org/ublksrv.git -b group-provide-buf_v2
	make test T=loop/009:nbd/061	#ublk zc tests

When running 64KB/512KB block size test on ublk-loop('ublk add -t loop --buffered_io -f $backing'),
it is observed that perf is doubled.

Any comments are welcome!

V4:
	- address most comments from Pavel
	- fix request double free
	- don't use io_req_commit_cqe() in io_req_complete_defer()
	- make members' REQ_F_INFLIGHT discoverable
	- use common assembling check in submission code path
	- drop patch 3 and don't move REQ_F_CQE_SKIP out of io_free_req()
	- don't set .accept_group_kbuf for net send zc, in which members
	  need to be queued after buffer notification is got, and can be
	  enabled in future
	- add .grp_leader field via union, and share storage with .grp_link
	- move .grp_refs into one hole of io_kiocb, so that one extra
	cacheline isn't needed for io_kiocb
	- cleanup & document improvement

V3:
	- add IORING_FEAT_SQE_GROUP
	- simplify group completion, and minimize change on io_req_complete_defer()
	- simplify & cleanup io_queue_group_members()
	- fix many failure handling issues
	- cover failure handling code in added liburing tests
	- remove RFC

V2:
	- add generic sqe group, suggested by Kevin Wolf
	- add REQ_F_SQE_GROUP_DEP which is based on IOSQE_SQE_GROUP, for sharing
	  kernel resource in group wide, suggested by Kevin Wolf
	- remove sqe ext flag, and use the last bit for IOSQE_SQE_GROUP(Pavel),
	in future we still can extend sqe flags with one uring context flag
	- initialize group requests via submit state pattern, suggested by Pavel
	- all kinds of cleanup & bug fixes
