This patch supports mq_ops->queue_rqs() hook. It has an advantage of
batch submission to virtio-blk driver. It also helps polling I/O because
polling uses batched completion of block layer. Batch submission in
queue_rqs() can boost polling performance.
In queue_rqs(), it iterates plug->mq_list, collects requests that
belong to same HW queue until it encounters a request from other
HW queue or sees the end of the list.
Then, virtio-blk adds requests into virtqueue and kicks virtqueue
to submit requests.
If there is an error, it inserts error request to requeue_list and
passes it to ordinary block layer path.
For verification, I did fio test.
(io_uring, randread, direct=1, bs=4K, iodepth=64 numjobs=N)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 virtio-blk queues for VM and run fio test 5 times.
It shows about 2% improvement.
| numjobs=2 | numjobs=4
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio without queue_rqs() | 291K IOPS | 238K IOPS
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio with queue_rqs() | 295K IOPS | 243K IOPS
For polling I/O performance, I also did fio test as below.
(io_uring, hipri, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=4)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 poll queues for VM.
It shows about 2% improvement in polling I/O.
| IOPS | avg latency
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio poll without queue_rqs() | 424K | 613.05 usec
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio poll with queue_rqs() | 435K | 601.01 usec

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.
