    io-uring: add napi busy poll support · 8d0c12a8
    Stefan Roesch authored
    This adds the napi busy polling support in io_uring.c. It adds a new
    napi_list to the io_ring_ctx structure. This list contains the list of
    napi_id's that are currently enabled for busy polling. The list is
    synchronized by the new napi_lock spin lock. The current default napi
    busy polling time is stored in napi_busy_poll_to. If napi busy polling
    is not enabled, the value is 0.
    
    In addition there is also a hash table. The hash table store the napi
    id and the pointer to the above list nodes. The hash table is used to
    speed up the lookup to the list elements. The hash table is synchronized
    with rcu.
    
    The NAPI_TIMEOUT is stored as a timeout to make sure that the time a
    napi entry is stored in the napi list is limited.
    
    The busy poll timeout is also stored as part of the io_wait_queue. This
    is necessary as for sq polling the poll interval needs to be adjusted
    and the napi callback allows only to pass in one value.
    
    This has been tested with two simple programs from the liburing library
    repository: the napi client and the napi server program. The client
    sends a request, which has a timestamp in its payload and the server
    replies with the same payload. The client calculates the roundtrip time
    and stores it to calculate the results.
    
    The client is running on host1 and the server is running on host 2 (in
    the same rack). The measured times below are roundtrip times. They are
    average times over 5 runs each. Each run measures 1 million roundtrips.
