This series adds lseek for io_uring, the motivation to import this
syscall is in previous io_uring getdents patchset, we lack a way to
rewind the file cursor when it goes to the end of file. Another reason
is lseek is a common syscall, it's good for coding consistency when
users use io_uring as their main loop.
Patch 1 is code clean for iomap
Patch 2 adds IOMAP_NOWAIT logic for iomap lseek
Patch 3 adds a nowait parameter to for IOMAP_NOWAIT control
Patch 4 adds llseek_nowait() for file_operations so that specific
filesystem can implement it for nowait lseek
Patch 5 adds llseek_nowait() implementation for xfs
Patch 6 adds a new vfs wrapper for io_uring use
Patch 7 is the main io_uring lseek implementation
Note, this series depends on the previous io_uring getdents series.
This is marked RFC since there is (at least) an issue to be discussed:
The work in this series is mainly to reslove a problem that the current
llseek() in struct file_operations doesn't have a place to deliver
nowait info, and adding an argument to it results in update for llseek
implementation of all filesystems (35 functions), so here I introduce
a new llseek_nowait() as a workaround.
For performance, it has about 20%~30% improvement on iops.
The test program is just like the one for io_uring getdents, here is the
link to it: https://github.com/HowHsu/liburing/blob/llseek/test/lseek.c
- Each test runs about 30000 async requests/sync syscalls
- Each test runs 100 times and get the average value.
- offset is randomly generated value
- the file is a 1M all zero file
