      io_uring: be smarter about waking multiple CQ ring waiters · 5fd46178
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Currently we only wake the first waiter, even if we have enough entries
posted to satisfy multiple waiters. Improve that situation so that
every waiter knows how much the CQ tail has to advance before they can
be safely woken up.

With this change, if we have N waiters each asking for 1 event and we get
4 completions, then we wake up 4 waiters. If we have N waiters asking
for 2 completions and we get 4 completions, then we wake up the first
two. Previously, only the first waiter would've been woken up.

which is due to the RT kernel not liking a GFP_ATOMIC allocation inside
a raw spinlock. Besides that not working on RT, doing any kind of
allocation from inside schedule() is kind of nasty and should be avoided
if at all possible.

This particular path happens when an io-wq worker goes to sleep, and we
need a new worker to handle pending work. We currently allocate a small
data item to hold the information we need to create a new worker, but we
can instead include this data in the io_worker struct itself and just
protect it with a single bit lock. We only really need one per worker
anyway, as we will have run pending work between to sleep cycles.
