Lots of workloads use multiple threads, in which case the file table is shared between them. This makes getting and putting the ring file descriptor for each io_uring_enter(2) system call more expensive, as it involves an atomic get and put for each call. Similarly to how we allow registering normal file descriptors to avoid this overhead, add support for an io_uring_register(2) API that allows to register the ring fds themselves: 1) IORING_REGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_rsrc_update structs, and registers them with the task. 2) IORING_UNREGISTER_RING_FDS - takes an array of io_uring_src_update structs, and unregisters them. When a ring fd is registered, it is internally represented by an offset. This offset is returned to the application, and the application then uses this offset and sets IORING_ENTER_REGISTERED_RING for the io_uring_enter(2) system call. This works just like using a registered file descriptor, rather than a real one, in an SQE, where IOSQE_FIXED_FILE gets set to tell io_uring that we're using an internal offset/descriptor rather than a real file descriptor. In initial testing, this provides a nice bump in performance for threaded applications in real world cases where the batch count (eg number of requests submitted per io_uring_enter(2) invocation) is low. In a microbenchmark, submitting NOP requests, we see the following increases in performance: Requests per syscall Baseline Registered Increase ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 ~7030K ~8080K +15% 2 ~13120K ~14800K +13% 4 ~22740K ~25300K +11% Co-developed-by: Xiaoguang Wang <xiaoguang.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |
