From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@xxxxxxxxxxx> This series introduce getdents64 to io_uring, the code logic is similar with the snychronized version's. It first try nowait issue, and offload it to io-wq threads if the first try fails. Patch1 and Patch2 are some preparation Patch3 supports nowait for xfs getdents code Patch4-11 are vfs change, include adding helpers and trylock for locks Tests I've done: A liburing test case for functional test: https://github.com/HowHsu/liburing/commit/39dc9a8e19c06a8cebf8c2301b85320eb45c061e?diff=unified Tested it with a liburing performance test: https://github.com/HowHsu/liburing/blob/getdents/test/getdents2.c The test is controlled by the below script[2] which runs getdents2.t 100 times and calulate the avg. The result show that io_uring version is about 2.6% faster: note: [1] the number of getdents call/request in io_uring and normal sync version are made sure to be same beforehand. [2] run_getdents.py ```python3 import subprocess N = 100 sum = 0.0 args = ["/data/home/howeyxu/tmpdir", "sync"] for i in range(N): output = subprocess.check_output(["./liburing/test/getdents2.t"] + args) sum += float(output) average = sum / N print("Average of sync:", average) sum = 0.0 args = ["/data/home/howeyxu/tmpdir", "iouring"] for i in range(N): output = subprocess.check_output(["./liburing/test/getdents2.t"] + args) sum += float(output) average = sum / N print("Average of iouring:", average) ``` v5->v6: - remove xfs journal stuff since there are fundamental issues in the design. v4->v5: - move atime update to the beginning of getdents operation - trylock for i_rwsem - nowait semantics for involved xfs journal stuff v3->v4: - add Dave's xfs nowait code and fix a deadlock problem, with some code style tweak. - disable fixed file to avoid a race problem for now - add a test program. v2->v3: - removed the kernfs patches - add f_pos_lock logic - remove the "reduce last EOF getdents try" optimization since Dominique reports that doesn't make difference - remove the rewind logic, I think the right way is to introduce lseek to io_uring not to patch this logic to getdents. - add Singed-off-by of Stefan Roesch for patch 1 since checkpatch complained that Co-developed-by someone should be accompanied with Signed-off-by same person, I can remove them if Stefan thinks that's not proper.
