Pavel Begunkov says: ==================== implement io_uring notification (ubuf_info) stacking (net part) To have per request buffer notifications each zerocopy io_uring send request allocates a new ubuf_info. However, as an skb can carry only one uarg, it may force the stack to create many small skbs hurting performance in many ways. The patchset implements notification, i.e. an io_uring's ubuf_info extension, stacking. It attempts to link ubuf_info's into a list, allowing to have multiple of them per skb. liburing/examples/send-zerocopy shows up 6 times performance improvement for TCP with 4KB bytes per send, and levels it with MSG_ZEROCOPY. Without the patchset it requires much larger sends to utilise all potential. bytes | before | after (Kqps) 1200 | 195 | 1023 4000 | 193 | 1386 8000 | 154 | 1058 ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1713369317.git.asml.silence@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
