From: Lu Hongfei
Date: Wed Jun 14 2023 - 04:31:44 EST


This adds the async buffered write support to ext4,
the following is the relevant test data.

iodepth | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 |
before(M/s) | 842 | 1047 | 1098 | 1167 | 1172 | 1247 |
after(M/s) | 1293 | 1674 | 1794 | 1862 | 1897 | 1833 |

The following is the fio configuration:

[global]
ioengine=io_uring
sqthread_poll=1
threads=1
iodepth=16
hipri=0
direct=0
fixedbufs=0
uncached=0
nowait=0
force_async=0
randrepeat=0
time_based=0
size=256M
filename=/data/test/local/io_uring_test
group_reporting
[read256B-rand]
bs=4096
rw=randwrite
numjobs=1
