Currently io-uring only supports buffered writes in the slow path, by processing them in the io workers. With this patch series it is now possible to support buffered writes in the fast path. To be able to use the fast path the required pages must be in the page cache, the required locks in xfs can be granted immediately and no additional blocks need to be read form disk. Updating the inode can take time. An optimization has been implemented for the time update. Time updates will be processed in the slow path. While there is already a time update in process, other write requests for the same file, can skip the update of the modification time. Performance results: For fio the following results have been obtained with a queue depth of 1 and 4k block size (runtime 600 secs): sequential writes: without patch with patch libaio psync iops: 77k 209k 195K 233K bw: 314MB/s 854MB/s 790MB/s 953MB/s clat: 9600ns 120ns 540ns 3000ns For an io depth of 1, the new patch improves throughput by over three times (compared to the exiting behavior, where buffered writes are processed by an io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably reduced. To achieve the same or better performance with the exisiting code an io depth of 4 is required. Increasing the iodepth further does not lead to improvements. In addition the latency of buffered write operations is reduced considerably. Support for async buffered writes: To support async buffered writes the flag FMODE_BUF_WASYNC is introduced. In addition the check in generic_write_checks is modified to allow for async buffered writes that have this flag set. Changes to the iomap page create function to allow the caller to specify the gfp flags. Sets the IOMAP_NOWAIT flag in iomap if IOCB_NOWAIT has been set and specifies the requested gfp flags. Adds the iomap async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer. Adds async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer. Support for async buffered write support and inode time modification Splits the functions for checking if the file privileges need to be removed in two functions: check function and a function for the removal of file privileges. The same split is also done for the function to update the file modification time. Implement an optimization that while a file modification time is pending other requests for the same file don't need to wait for the file modification update. This avoids that a considerable number of buffered async write requests get punted. Take the ilock in nowait mode if async buffered writes are enabled and enable the async buffered writes optimization in io_uring. Support for write throttling of async buffered writes: Add a no_wait parameter to the exisiting balance_dirty_pages() function. The function will return -EAGAIN if the parameter is true and write throttling is required. Add a new function called balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() that will be invoked from iomap_write_iter() if an async buffered write is requested. Enable async buffered write support in xfs This enables async buffered writes for xfs. Testing: This patch has been tested with xfstests and fio.
