    virtio-blk: support completion batching for the IRQ path · 07b679f7
    Suwan Kim authored
    This patch adds completion batching to the IRQ path. It reuses batch
    completion code of virtblk_poll(). It collects requests to io_comp_batch
    and processes them all at once. It can boost up the performance by 2%.
    
    To validate the performance improvement and stabilty, I did fio test with
    4 vCPU VM and 12 vCPU VM respectively. Both VMs have 8GB ram and the same
    number of HW queues as vCPU.
    The fio cammad is as follows and I ran the fio 5 times and got IOPS average.
    (io_uring, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=2,4)
    
    Test result shows about 2% improvement.
    
               4 vcpu VM       |   numjobs=2   |   numjobs=4
          -----------------------------------------------------------
            fio without patch  |  367.2K IOPS  |   397.6K IOPS
          -----------------------------------------------------------
            fio with patch     |  372.8K IOPS  |   407.7K IOPS
    
               12 vcpu VM      |   numjobs=2   |   numjobs=4
          -----------------------------------------------------------
            fio without patch  |  363.6K IOPS  |   374.8K IOPS
          -----------------------------------------------------------
            fio with patch     |  373.8K IOPS  |   385.3K IOPS
