io_uring: implement async hybrid mode for pollable requests
The current logic of requests with IOSQE_ASYNC is first queueing it to io-worker, then execute it in a synchronous way. For unbound works like pollable requests(e.g. read/write a socketfd), the io-worker may stuck there waiting for events for a long time. And thus other works wait in the list for a long time too. Let's introduce a new way for unbound works (currently pollable requests), with this a request will first be queued to io-worker, then executed in a nonblock try rather than a synchronous way. Failure of that leads it to arm poll stuff and then the worker can begin to handle other works. The detail process of this kind of requests is: step1: original context: queue it to io-worker step2: io-worker context: nonblock try(the old logic is a synchronous try here) | |--fail--> arm poll | |--(fail/ready)-->synchronous issue | |--(succeed)-->worker finish it's job, tw take over the req This works much better than the old IOSQE_ASYNC logic in cases where unbound max_worker is relatively small. In this case, number of io-worker eazily increments to max_worker, new worker cannot be created and running workers stuck there handling old works in IOSQE_ASYNC mode. In my 64-core machine, set unbound max_worker to 20, run echo-server, turns out: (arguments: register_file, connetion number is 1000, message size is 12 Byte) original IOSQE_ASYNC: 76664.151 tps after this patch: 166934.985 tps Suggested-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Hao Xu <haoxu@linux.alibaba.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211018133445.103438-1-haoxu@linux.alibaba.comSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
