Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 32/33] io_uring: unlock sqd->lock before sq thread release CPU
Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 09:41:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

From: Wenwen Chen <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 533ab73f5b5c95dcb4152b52d5482abcc824c690 ]

The sq thread actively releases CPU resources by calling the
cond_resched() and schedule() interfaces when it is idle. Therefore,
more resources are available for other threads to run.

There exists a problem in sq thread: it does not unlock sqd->lock before
releasing CPU resources every time. This makes other threads pending on
sqd->lock for a long time. For example, the following interfaces all
require sqd->lock: io_sq_offload_create(), io_register_iowq_max_workers()
and io_ring_exit_work().

Before the sq thread releases CPU resources, unlocking sqd->lock will
provide the user a better experience because it can respond quickly to
user requests.
