[PATCHSET v2 0/3] Cleanup and improve MSG_RING performance

[PATCHSET v2 0/3] Cleanup and improve MSG_RING performance

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

MSG_RING rolls its own task_work handling, which there's really no need
for. Rather, it should use the generic io_uring infrastructure for this.

Add a helper for remote execution, and switch over MSG_RING to use it.
This both cleans up the code, and improves performance of this opcode
considerably.

Changes since v1:
- Only pass in ctx, not both ctx and task (Pavel)
- Fix io_req_task_work_add_remote() not using passed in 'ctx' for
  flags check
- Get rid of unneeded references on the io_kiocb

[PATCH 1/3] io_uring: add remote task_work execution helper

[Jens Axboe]

All our task_work handling is targeted at the state in the io_kiocb
itself, which is what it is being used for. However, MSG_RING rolls its
own task_work handling, ignoring how that is usually done.

In preparation for switching MSG_RING to be able to use the normal
task_work handling, add io_req_task_work_add_remote() which allows the
caller to pass in the target io_ring_ctx.

[PATCH 2/3] io_uring/msg_ring: cleanup posting to IOPOLL vs !IOPOLL ring

[Jens Axboe]

Move the posting outside the checking and locking, it's cleaner that
way.

[PATCH 3/3] io_uring/msg_ring: improve handling of target CQE posting

[Jens Axboe]

Use the exported helper for queueing task_work, rather than rolling our
own.

This improves peak performance of message passing by about 5x in some
basic testing, with 2 threads just sending messages to each other.
Before this change, it was capped at around 700K/sec, with the change
it's at over 4M/sec.

This part looks correct. Now with io_req_task_work_add_remote(),
req->io_task_work.func is added to tctx->task_list, and queued up for
execution on the remote ctx->submitter_task via task_work_add(). The end
result is that the argument @func is executed on the remote
ctx->submitter_task, which is the same outcome as before.

Also, unsure how this hand rolled code interacted with defer taskrun
before but now it is handled properly in io_req_task_work_add_remote().

One is the req->task side, which is serialized as it's setup at install
time. For the ctx submitter_task, in _theory_ that isn't, hence
read/write once must be used for those. In practice, I don't think the
latter solves anything outside of perhaps KCSAN complaining.

That's not a bad idea. I did run all the testing verifying the ctx, and
it all appears fine. But adding the check is a good idea in general.

It's not in a sense that condition couldn't have happened
before and the patch opening all possibilities.

We actually have @ctx via struct io_tctx_node, so considering
fallback it would probably be:

lockdep_assert(!current->io_uring ||
                current->io_uring->ctx == req->ctx);

I actually since changed the above to use a common helper, so was
scratching my head a bit over your comment as it can't really work in
that setup without needing to check for whether ->submitter_task is set
or not. But I do agree this would be nicer, so I'll just return to using
the separate helpers for this and it should fall out nicely. The only
odd caller is the MSG_RING side, so makes sense to have it a bit more
separate rather than try and fold it in with the regular side of using
task_work.

Urgh, even the declration screams that there is something wrong
considering it _either_ targets @ctx or @task.

Just pass @ctx, so it either use ctx->submitter_task or
req->task, hmm?

A side note, it's a dangerous game, I told it before. At least
it would've been nice to abuse lockdep in a form of:

io_req_task_complete(req, tw, ctx) {
	lockdep_assert(req->ctx == ctx);
	...
}

but we don't have @ctx there, maybe we'll add it to tw later.

[PATCH 1/3] io_uring: add remote task_work execution helper

[Jens Axboe]

All our task_work handling is targeted at the state in the io_kiocb
itself, which is what it is being used for. However, MSG_RING rolls its
own task_work handling, ignoring how that is usually done.

In preparation for switching MSG_RING to be able to use the normal
task_work handling, add io_req_task_work_add_remote() which allows the
caller to pass in the target io_ring_ctx and task.
