This patch adds completion batching to the IRQ path. It reuses batch
completion code of virtblk_poll(). It collects requests to io_comp_batch
and processes them all at once. It can boost up the performance by 2%.
To validate the performance improvement and stabilty, I did fio test with
4 vCPU VM and 12 vCPU VM respectively. Both VMs have 8GB ram and the same
number of HW queues as vCPU.
The fio cammad is as follows and I ran the fio 5 times and got IOPS average.
(io_uring, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=2,4)
Test result shows about 2% improvement.
4 vcpu VM | numjobs=2 | numjobs=4
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio without patch | 367.2K IOPS | 397.6K IOPS
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio with patch | 372.8K IOPS | 407.7K IOPS
12 vcpu VM | numjobs=2 | numjobs=4
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio without patch | 363.6K IOPS | 374.8K IOPS
-----------------------------------------------------------
fio with patch | 373.8K IOPS | 385.3K IOPS

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.
