Enable nowait async buffered writes in btrfs_do_write_iter() and
btrfs_file_open().
In this version encoded buffered writes have the optimization not
enabled. Encoded writes are enabled by using an ioctl. io_uring
currently does not support ioctls. This might be enabled in the future.
Performance results:
For fio the following results have been obtained with a queue depth of
1 and 4k block size (runtime 600 secs):
sequential writes:
without patch with patch libaio psync
iops: 55k 134k 117K 148K
bw: 221MB/s 538MB/s 469MB/s 592MB/s
clat: 15286ns 82ns 994ns 6340ns
For an io depth of 1, the new patch improves throughput by over two
times (compared to the existing behavior, where buffered writes are
processed by an io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably
reduced. To achieve the same or better performance with the existing
code an io depth of 4 is required. Increasing the iodepth further does
not lead to improvements.
The tests have been run like this:
./fio --name=seq-writers --ioengine=psync --iodepth=1 --rw=write \
--bs=4k --direct=0 --size=100000m --time_based --runtime=600 \
--numjobs=1 --filename=...
./fio --name=seq-writers --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=1 --rw=write \
--bs=4k --direct=0 --size=100000m --time_based --runtime=600 \
--numjobs=1 --filename=...
./fio --name=seq-writers --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=1 --rw=write \
--bs=4k --direct=0 --size=100000m --time_based --runtime=600 \
--numjobs=1 --filename=...
Testing:
This patch has been tested with xfstests, fsx, fio. xfstests shows no new
diffs compared to running without the patch series.

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.
