The current logic of requests with IOSQE_ASYNC is first queueing it to
io-worker, then execute it in a synchronous way. For unbound works like
pollable requests(e.g. read/write a socketfd), the io-worker may stuck
there waiting for events for a long time. And thus other works wait in
the list for a long time too.
Let's introduce a new way for unbound works (currently pollable
requests), with this a request will first be queued to io-worker, then
executed in a nonblock try rather than a synchronous way. Failure of
that leads it to arm poll stuff and then the worker can begin to handle
other works.
The detail process of this kind of requests is:
step1: original context:
queue it to io-worker
step2: io-worker context:
nonblock try(the old logic is a synchronous try here)
|
|--fail--> arm poll
|
|--(fail/ready)-->synchronous issue
|
|--(succeed)-->worker finish it's job, tw
take over the req
This works much better than the old IOSQE_ASYNC logic in cases where
unbound max_worker is relatively small. In this case, number of
io-worker eazily increments to max_worker, new worker cannot be created
and running workers stuck there handling old works in IOSQE_ASYNC mode.
In my 64-core machine, set unbound max_worker to 20, run echo-server,
turns out:
(arguments: register_file, connetion number is 1000, message size is 12
Byte)
original IOSQE_ASYNC: 76664.151 tps
after this patch: 166934.985 tps

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.
