io_uring: io_uring_enter(2) don't poll while SETUP_IOPOLL|SETUP_SQPOLL enabled
When SETUP_IOPOLL and SETUP_SQPOLL are both enabled, applications don't need to do io completion events polling again, they can rely on io_sq_thread to do polling work, which can reduce cpu usage and uring_lock contention. I modify fio io_uring engine codes a bit to evaluate the performance: static int fio_ioring_getevents(struct thread_data *td, unsigned int min, continue; } - if (!o->sqpoll_thread) { + if (o->sqpoll_thread && o->hipri) { r = io_uring_enter(ld, 0, actual_min, IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS); if (r < 0) { and use "fio -name=fiotest -filename=/dev/nvme0n1 -iodepth=$depth -thread -rw=read -ioengine=io_uring -hipri=1 -sqthread_poll=1 -direct=1 -bs=4k -size=10G -numjobs=1 -time_based -runtime=120" original codes -------------------------------------------------------------------- iodepth | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 bw | 1133MB/s | 1519MB/s | 2090MB/s | 2710MB/s | 3012MB/s fio cpu usage | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% -------------------------------------------------------------------- with patch -------------------------------------------------------------------- iodepth | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 bw | 1196MB/s | 1721MB/s | 2351MB/s | 2977MB/s | 3357MB/s fio cpu usage | 63.8% | 74.4%% | 81.1% | 83.7% | 82.4% -------------------------------------------------------------------- bw improve | 5.5% | 13.2% | 12.3% | 9.8% | 11.5% -------------------------------------------------------------------- From above test results, we can see that bw has above 5.5%~13% improvement, and fio process's cpu usage also drops much. Note this won't improve io_sq_thread's cpu usage when SETUP_IOPOLL|SETUP_SQPOLL are both enabled, in this case, io_sq_thread always has 100% cpu usage. I think this patch will be friendly to applications which will often use io_uring_wait_cqe() or similar from liburing.
