[PATCH 0/3] io_uring: clean wq path

[Pavel Begunkov]

This is the first series of shaving some overhead for wq-offloading.
The 1st removes extra allocations, and the 3rd req->refs abusing.

There are plenty of opportunities to leak memory similarly to
the way mentioned in [PATCH 1/3], and I'm working a generic fix,
as I need it to close holes in waiting splice(2) patches.

The untold idea behind [PATCH 3/3] is to get rid referencing even
further. As submission ref always pin request, there is no need
in the second (i.e. completion) ref. Even more, With a bit of
retossing, we can get rid of req->refs at all by using non-atomic
ref under @compl_lock, which usually will be bundled fill_event().
I'll play with it soon. Any ideas or concerns regarding it?

Regarding [PATCH 3/3], is there better way to do it for io_poll_add()?

[PATCH 1/3] io_uring: pass sqe for link head

[Pavel Begunkov]

Save an sqe for a head of a link, so it doesn't go through switch in
io_req_defer_prep() nor allocating an async context in advance.

Also, it's fixes potenial memleak for double-preparing head requests.
E.g. prep in io_submit_sqe() and then prep in io_req_defer(),
which leaks iovec for vectored read/writes.

Looking through -rc1, remembered that Jens already fixed this. So, this may be
striked out.

Just to clarify, I was talking about removing the last argument in the patch

It passes "@sqe == NULL" IIF it's in wq context. Don't pass

[PATCH 3/3] io_uring: pass submission ref to async

[Pavel Begunkov]

Whenever going into async, __io_queue_sqe() won't put submission ref,
so it's done either by io_wq_submit_work() in a generic way (1) or
compensated in an opcode handler (2). By removing (2) in favor of (1),
requests in async are always pinned by this submission ref, so extra
referencing in io_{get,put}_work() can be removed.

The patch makes the flow as follows: if going async, pass submission
ref into it. When async handling is done, put it in io_put_work().
The benefit is killing 1 extra pair of get/put and further though
yet blurry optimisation prospects.

- remove referencing from io_{get,put}_work()
- remove (2) from opcodes specialising custom @work->func
- refcount_inc() in io_poll_add() to restore submission ref
- put a ref in io_uring_cancel_files() as io_put_work() won't be called on
cancel.

Rechecked a couple of assumptions, this patchset is messed up.

OK, will do, haven't had time to look at it yet anyway.

Are you going to do the ->has_user removal? We should just do that
separately first.

Sorry for the fuss. I'll return to it later.

Yes. I've spotted a few bugs, so I'm going to patch them first with
merging/backporting in mind, and then deal with ->has_user. IMO, this
order makes more sense.

No worries

I think it probably makes sense to do it in the opposite order, as the
->has_user cleanup/clarification should go into 5.6 whereas the other
stuff is likely 5.7 material.
