Subject: [PATCH] io-wq: handle hashed writes in chains
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 09:31:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

We always punt async buffered writes to an io-wq helper, as the core
kernel does not have IOCB_NOWAIT support for that. Most buffered async
writes complete very quickly, as it's just a copy operation. This means
that doing multiple locking roundtrips on the shared wqe lock for each
buffered write is wasteful. Additionally, buffered writes are hashed
work items, which means that any buffered write to a given file is
serialized.

When looking for a new work item, build a chain of identicaly hashed
work items, and then hand back that batch. Until the batch is done, the
caller doesn't have to synchronize with the wqe or worker locks again.

Since rfc v2:
- Add and use wq_first_entry()
- Add __wq_node_del() for the common case of prev == NULL
- Cleanups and comments

Could potentially split this into two, with the first patch being the
wq_node_del() and wq_first_entry() changes...
