Subject: [PATCH 8/8] iomap: support IOCB_DIO_DEFER
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2023 12:13:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

If IOCB_DIO_DEFER is set, utilize that to set kiocb->dio_complete handler
and data for that callback. Rather than punt the completion to a
workqueue, we pass back the handler and data to the issuer and will get a
callback from a safe task context.

Using the following fio job to randomly dio write 4k blocks at
queue depths of 1..16:

fio --name=dio-write --filename=/data1/file --time_based=1 \
--runtime=10 --bs=4096 --rw=randwrite --norandommap --buffered=0 \
--cpus_allowed=4 --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=$depth

shows the following results before and after this patch:

	Stock	Patched		Diff
=======================================
QD1	155K	162K		+ 4.5%
QD2	290K	313K		+ 7.9%
QD4	533K	597K		+12.0%
QD8	604K	827K		+36.9%
QD16	615K	845K		+37.4%

which shows nice wins all around. If we factored in per-IOP efficiency,
the wins look even nicer. This becomes apparent as queue depth rises,
as the offloaded workqueue completions runs out of steam.
