Current sleep time for hybrid polling is half of mean time.
The 'half' sleep time is good for minimizing the cpu utilization.
But, the problem is that its cpu utilization is still high.
this patch can help to minimize the cpu utilization side.
Below 1,2 is my test hardware sets.
1. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz + Samsung 970 pro 1Tb
2. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz + INTEL SSDPED1D480GA 480G
| Classic Polling | Hybrid Polling | this Patch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
cpu util | IOPS(k) | cpu util | IOPS | cpu util | IOPS |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. 99.96 | 491 | 56.98 | 467 | 35.98 | 442 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2. 99.94 | 582 | 56.3 | 582 | 35.28 | 582 |
cpu util means that sum of sys and user util.
I used 4k rand read for this test.
because that case is worst case of I/O performance side.
below one is my fio setup.
