[RFC PATCH v4 0/4] liburing: add api for napi busy poll

[RFC PATCH v4 0/4] liburing: add api for napi busy poll

[Stefan Roesch]

This adds two new api's to set/clear the napi busy poll settings. The two
new functions are called:
- io_uring_register_napi
- io_uring_unregister_napi

The patch series also contains the documentation for the two new functions
and two example programs. The client program is called napi-busy-poll-client
and the server program napi-busy-poll-server. The client measures the
roundtrip times of requests.

There is also a kernel patch "io-uring: support napi busy poll" to enable
this feature on the kernel side.

Changes:
- V4:
  - Modify functions to use a structure to pass the napi busy poll settings
    to the kernel.
  - Return previous values when returning from the above functions.
  - Rename the functions and remove one function (no longer needed as the
    data is passed as a structure)
- V3:
  - Updated liburing.map file
  - Moved example programs from the test directory to the example directory.
    The two example programs don't fit well in the test category and need to
    be run from separate hosts.
  - Added the io_uring_register_napi_prefer_busy_poll API.
  - Added the call to io_uring_register_napi_prefer_busy_poll to the example
    programs
  - Updated the documentation
- V2:
  - Updated the liburing.map file for the two new functions.
    (added a 2.4 section)
  - Added a description of the new feature to the changelog file
  - Fixed the indentation of the longopts structure
  - Used defined exit constants
  - Fixed encodeUserData to support 32 bit builds

The latter should be IORING_UNREGISTER_NAPI instead of IORING_REGISTER_NAPI?
Or did I miss something?

Thats correct.

Fixed in the next version.

[RFC PATCH v4 3/4] liburing: add example programs for napi busy poll

[Stefan Roesch]

This adds two example programs to test the napi busy poll functionality.
It consists of a client program and a server program. To get a napi id,
the client and the server program need to be run on different hosts.

To test the napi busy poll timeout, the -t needs to be specified. A
reasonable value for the busy poll timeout is 100. By specifying the
busy poll timeout on the server and the client the best results are
accomplished.

BTW Stefan, I got:

    "[RFC PATCH v4 0/4] liburing: add api for napi busy poll"

patchset twice. Both are identical. But I don't get a v4 kernel patchset
that adds this feature.

Maybe you were going to send the kernel and liburing patchset, but you
accidentally sent the liburing patchset twice?

Did you post the kernel side, because I don't see it? That's the most
important one to get sorted first.

[RFC PATCH v4 0/4] liburing: add api for napi busy poll

[Stefan Roesch]

This adds two new api's to set/clear the napi busy poll settings. The two
new functions are called:
- io_uring_register_napi
- io_uring_unregister_napi

The patch series also contains the documentation for the two new functions
and two example programs. The client program is called napi-busy-poll-client
and the server program napi-busy-poll-server. The client measures the
roundtrip times of requests.

There is also a kernel patch "io-uring: support napi busy poll" to enable
this feature on the kernel side.

Changes:
- V4:
  - Modify functions to use a structure to pass the napi busy poll settings
    to the kernel.
  - Return previous values when returning from the above functions.
  - Rename the functions and remove one function (no longer needed as the
    data is passed as a structure)
- V3:
  - Updated liburing.map file
  - Moved example programs from the test directory to the example directory.
    The two example programs don't fit well in the test category and need to
    be run from separate hosts.
  - Added the io_uring_register_napi_prefer_busy_poll API.
