scsi: ufs: Implement polling support
The time spent in io_schedule() and also the interrupt latency are significant when submitting direct I/O to a UFS device. Hence this patch that implements polling support. User space software can enable polling by passing the RWF_HIPRI flag to the preadv2() system call or the IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL flag to the io_uring interface. Although the block layer supports to partition the tag space for interrupt-based completions (HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT) purposes and polling (HCTX_TYPE_POLL), the choice has been made to use the same hardware queue for both hctx types because partitioning the tag space would negatively affect performance. On my test setup this patch increases IOPS from 2736 to 22000 (8x) for the following test: for hipri in 0 1; do fio --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=1 --rw=randread \ --runtime=60 --time_based=1 --direct=1 --name=qd1 \ --filename=/dev/block/sda --ioscheduler=none --gtod_reduce=1 \ --norandommap --hipri=$hipri done Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203231950.193369-18-bvanassche@acm.orgTested-by: Bean Huo <beanhuo@micron.com> Reviewed-by: Bean Huo <beanhuo@micron.com> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
