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

From: Hao Xu
Date: Tue Mar 01 2022 - 13:31:27 EST


Hi Olivier,

On 3/1/22 21:47, Olivier Langlois wrote:
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

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

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 in my timezone.

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.
