[PATCH v4 0/3] io_uring: avoid ring quiesce in io_uring_register for eventfd opcodes

[Usama Arif <usama.arif@bytedance.com>]

This is done by creating a new RCU data structure (io_ev_fd) as part of
io_ring_ctx that holds the eventfd_ctx, with reads to the structure protected
by rcu_read_lock and writes (register/unregister calls) protected by a mutex.

With the above approach ring quiesce can be avoided which is much more
expensive then using RCU lock. On the system tested, io_uring_reigster with
IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD takes less than 1ms with RCU lock, compared to 15ms
before with ring quiesce.

The first patch creates the RCU protected data structure and removes ring
quiesce for IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD and IORING_UNREGISTER_EVENTFD.

The second patch builds on top of the first patch and removes ring quiesce
for IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC.

---
v3->v4:
- Switch back to call_rcu and use rcu_barrier incase io_eventfd_register fails
to make sure all rcu callbacks have finished.

v2->v3:
- Switched to using synchronize_rcu from call_rcu in io_eventfd_unregister.

v1->v2:
- Added patch to remove eventfd from tracepoint (Patch 1) (Jens Axboe)
- Made the code of io_should_trigger_evfd as part of io_eventfd_signal (Jens Axboe)

Usama Arif (3):
  io_uring: remove trace for eventfd
  io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while registering/unregistering eventfd
  io_uring: avoid ring quiesce for IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC
