Add bio pcpu caching for normal / IRQ-driven I/O extending REQ_ALLOC_CACHE, which was limited to iopoll. t/io_uring with an Optane SSD setup showed +7% for batches of 32 requests and +4.3% for batches of 8.

The only restriction we currently have is that the allocations can't be done from non-irq context and so needs auditing. note: needs "bio: safeguard REQ_ALLOC_CACHE bio put" missing in for-6.2/block v2: fix botched splicing threshold checks v3: remove merged patch limit scope of flags var in bio_put_percpu_cache (Christoph Hellwig) Pavel Begunkov (3): bio: split pcpu cache part of bio_put into a helper block/bio: add pcpu caching for non-polling bio_put io_uring/rw: enable bio caches for IRQ rw block/bio.c | 93 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ io_uring/rw.c | 3 +- 2 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) -- 2.38.0
