[PATCH for-next v2 0/4] iopoll support for io_uring/nvme

[Kanchan Joshi]

Hi,

Series enables async polling on io_uring command, and nvme passthrough
(for io-commands) is wired up to leverage that.

Changes since v1:
- corrected variable name (Jens)
- fix for a warning (test-robot)

Performance impact:
Pre TLDR: polling gives clear win.

512b randread performance (KIOPS):

QD_batch    block    passthru    passthru-poll   block-poll
1_1          80        81          158            157
8_2         406       470          680            700
16_4        620       656          931            920
128_32      879       1056        1120            1132

Upstream fio is used for testing. Polled queues set to 1 in nvme.

passthru command line:
fio -iodepth=64 -rw=randread -ioengine=io_uring_cmd -bs=512 -numjobs=1
-runtime=60 -group_reporting -iodepth_batch_submit=16
-iodepth_batch_complete_min=1 -iodepth_batch_complete_max=16
-cmd_type=nvme -hipri=0 -filename=/dev/ng1n1 -name=io_uring_cmd_64

block command line:
fio -direct=1 -iodepth=64 -rw=randread -ioengine=io_uring -bs=512
-numjobs=1 -runtime=60 -group_reporting -iodepth_batch_submit=16
-iodepth_batch_complete_min=1 -iodepth_batch_complete_max=16
-hipri=0 -filename=/dev/nvme1n1 name=io_uring_64

Bit of code  went into non-passthrough path for io_uring (patch 2) but I
do not see that causing any performance regression.
peak-perf test showed 2.3M IOPS with or without this series for
block-io.

Kanchan Joshi (4):
  fs: add file_operations->uring_cmd_iopoll
  io_uring: add iopoll infrastructure for io_uring_cmd
  block: export blk_rq_is_poll
  nvme: wire up async polling for io passthrough commands
