[PATCH v4 0/2] io_uring: Add support for napi_busy_poll

[PATCH v4 0/2] io_uring: Add support for napi_busy_poll

[Olivier Langlois]

The sqpoll thread can be used for performing the napi busy poll in a
similar way that it does io polling for file systems supporting direct
access bypassing the page cache.

The other way that io_uring can be used for napi busy poll is by
calling io_uring_enter() to get events.

If the user specify a timeout value, it is distributed between polling
and sleeping by using the systemwide setting
/proc/sys/net/core/busy_poll.

The changes have been tested with this program:
https://github.com/lano1106/io_uring_udp_ping

and the result is:
Without sqpoll:
NAPI busy loop disabled:
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 40.631/42.050/58.667/1.547 us
NAPI busy loop enabled:
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 30.619/31.753/61.433/1.456 us

With sqpoll:
NAPI busy loop disabled:
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 42.087/44.438/59.508/1.533 us
NAPI busy loop enabled:
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 35.779/37.347/52.201/0.924 us

v2:
 * Evaluate list_empty(&ctx->napi_list) outside io_napi_busy_loop() to keep
   __io_sq_thread() execution as fast as possible
 * In io_cqring_wait(), move up the sig block to avoid needless computation
   if the block exits the function
 * In io_cqring_wait(), protect ctx->napi_list from race condition by
   splicing it into a local list
 * In io_cqring_wait(), allow busy polling when uts is missing
 * Fix kernel test robot issues
v3:
 * Fix do_div() type mismatch warning
 * Reduce uring_lock contention by creating a spinlock for protecting
   napi_list
 * Support correctly MULTISHOT poll requests
v4:
 * Put back benchmark result in commit text

[PATCH v4 1/2] io_uring: minor io_cqring_wait() optimization

[Olivier Langlois]

Move up the block manipulating the sig variable to execute code
that may encounter an error and exit first before continuing
exectuing the rest of the function and avoid useless computations

IMHO, we need to handle -ENOMEM here, I cut off the error handling when

I did the quick coding. Sorry for misleading.

I'm afraid we may need lock for sqpoll too, since io_add_napi() could be 
in iowq context.

I'll take a look at the lock stuff of this patch tomorrow, too late now

How about:

if (list is singular) {

     do something;

     return;

}

while (!io_busy_loop_end() && io_napi_busy_loop())

     ;


Btw, start_time seems not used in singular branch.

If you are correct, I would be shocked about this.

I did return in my 'Linux Device Drivers' book and nowhere it is
mentionned that the kmalloc() can return something else than a pointer

No mention at all about the return value

in man page:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/kernel-api/API-kmalloc.html
API doc:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/mm-api.html?highlight=kmalloc#c.kmalloc

header file:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/slab.h#L522

I did browse into the kmalloc code. There is a lot of paths to cover
but from preliminary reading, it pretty much seems that kmalloc only
returns a valid pointer or NULL...

/**
 * kmem_cache_alloc - Allocate an object
 * @cachep: The cache to allocate from.
 * @flags: See kmalloc().
 *
 * Allocate an object from this cache.  The flags are only relevant
 * if the cache has no available objects.
 *
 * Return: pointer to the new object or %NULL in case of error
 */
 
 /**
 * __do_kmalloc - allocate memory
 * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate (see kmalloc).
 * @caller: function caller for debug tracking of the caller
 *
 * Return: pointer to the allocated memory or %NULL in case of error
 */

I'll need someone else to confirm about possible kmalloc() return
values with perhaps an example

I am a bit skeptic that something special needs to be done here...

Or perhaps you are suggesting that io_add_napi() returns an error code
when allocation fails.

as done here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/alpha/kernel/core_marvel.c#L867

If that is what you suggest, what would this info do for the caller?

IMHO, it wouldn't help in any way...

Ok, please do. I'm not a big user of io workers. I may have omitted to
consider this possibility.

If that is the case, I think that this would be very easy to fix by
locking the spinlock while __io_sq_thread() is using napi_list.

is there a concern with the current code?
What would be the benefit of your suggestion over current code?

To me, it seems that if io_blocking_napi_busy_loop() is called, a
reasonable expectation would be that some busy looping is done or else
you could return the function without doing anything which would, IMHO,
be misleading.

By definition, napi_busy_loop() is not blocking and if you desire the
device to be in busy poll mode, you need to do it once in a while or
else, after a certain time, the device will return back to its
interrupt mode.

IOW, io_blocking_napi_busy_loop() follows the same logic used by
napi_busy_loop() that does not call loop_end() before having perform 1
loop iteration.

> Btw, start_time seems not used in singular branch.

I know. This is why it is conditionally initialized.

Another argument for not touching the code the way that it is:
io_napi_busy_loop() has another function on top of iterating the
napi_list and calling napi_busy_loop() for each of them.

The function also check the list entries validity and frees them when
they time out. Not calling io_napi_busy_loop() you would bypass this
check and that could result in timed out entries to never be disposed.

Hmm, I'm not sure, you're probably right based on that ENOMEM here shouldn't

fail the arm poll, but we wanna do it, we can do something like what we 
do for

kmalloc() in io_arm_poll_handler()). I'll leave it to others.

No, it's just coding style concern, since I see

do {

     if() {

         break;

     }

} while();

which means the if statement is actually not int the loop. Anyway, it's just

personal taste.

My position is that being able to perform busy poll is a nice to have
feature if the necessary resources are available. If not the request
will still be handled correctly so nothing special should be done in
case of mem alloc problem.

but fair enough, lets wait for Jens and Pavel to chime him if they
would like to see something to be done here.

Beside that, all I need to know is if napi_list needs to be protected
in __io_sq_thread with regards to io worket threads to start working on
a v5.

I'll look into this question too...

Agree.

Sorry for the delay, was stuck in other things. We definitely need

lock in this case too. It should be several lines code, super appreciate

if you could add it.


Thanks,

Hao,

it takes me few readings before being able to figure out the idea
behind your suggestions. Sorry about that!

So, if I get it correctly, you are proposing extract out the singular
block out of the while loop...

IMHO, this is not a good idea because you could start iterating the
do/while loop with a multiple entries list that ends up becoming a
singular list after one or few iterations.

Check what io_napi_busy_loop() is doing...

It does not look like that but a lot thoughts have been put into
writing io_blocking_napi_busy_loop()...

My bad, I get your point now.

True.
