[PATCH v2 0/3] cancel_hash per entry lock

[PATCH v2 0/3] cancel_hash per entry lock

[Hao Xu]

From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com>

Make per entry lock for cancel_hash array, this reduces usage of
completion_lock and contension between cancel_hash entries.

v1->v2:
 - Add per entry lock for poll/apoll task work code which was missed
   in v1
 - add an member in io_kiocb to track req's indice in cancel_hash

Hao Xu (3):
  io_uring: add hash_index and its logic to track req in cancel_hash
  io_uring: add an io_hash_bucket structure for smaller granularity lock
  io_uring: switch cancel_hash to use per list spinlock

[PATCH 1/3] io_uring: add hash_index and its logic to track req in cancel_hash

[Hao Xu]

From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com>

Add a new member hash_index in struct io_kiocb to track the req index
in cancel_hash array. This is needed in later patches.

[PATCH 2/3] io_uring: add an io_hash_bucket structure for smaller granularity lock

[Hao Xu]

From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com>

Add a new io_hash_bucket structure so that each bucket in cancel_hash
has separate spinlock. This is a prep patch for later use.

[PATCH 3/3] io_uring: switch cancel_hash to use per list spinlock

[Hao Xu]

From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com>

Use per list lock for cancel_hash, this removes some completion lock
invocation and remove contension between different cancel_hash entries

Tried to test it with many poll_add IOSQQE_ASYNC requests but turned out
that there is little conpletion_lock contention, so no visible change in
data. But I still think this may be good for cancel_hash access in some
real cases where completion lock matters.

please, in future just merge such patches into the next one,
separately it doesn't do anything meaningful, the struct is
not used here and IMHO only makes reviewing harder.

Didn't take a closer look, but can we make rid of it?
E.g. computing it again when ejecting a request from
the hash? or keep it in struct io_poll?

Conceptually I don't mind it, but let me ask in what
circumstances you expect it to make a difference? And
what can we do to get favourable numbers? For instance,
how many CPUs io-wq was using?

Btw, I couldn't find ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp anywhere,
which I expect around those new spinlocks to avoid them sharing
cache lines

I suppose there are cases where a bunch of users trying to access
cancel_hash[] at the same time when people use multiple threads to
submit sqes or they use IOSQE_ASYNC. And these io-workers or task works
run parallel on different CPUs.

It is not easy to construct manually since it is related with task
scheduling, like if we just issue many IOSQE_ASYNC polls in an
idle machine with many CPUs, there won't be much contention because of
different thread start time(thus they access cancel_hash at different
time

Good point, I prefer moving it to io_poll to computing it again since
this patchset is to try to make it faster.
