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"

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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
