      block/export: Fix vhost-user-blk shutdown with requests in flight · 520d8b40
      Kevin Wolf authored
      
      The vhost-user-blk export runs requests asynchronously in their own
      coroutine. When the vhost connection goes away and we want to stop the
      vhost-user server, we need to wait for these coroutines to stop before
      we can unmap the shared memory. Otherwise, they would still access the
      unmapped memory and crash.
      
      This introduces a refcount to VuServer which is increased when spawning
      a new request coroutine and decreased before the coroutine exits. The
      memory is only unmapped when the refcount reaches zero.

      aio-posix: split poll check from ready handler · 826cc324
      Stefan Hajnoczi authored
      
      Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus
      handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a
      significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for
      a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time.
      
      For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk
      device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This
      can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause
      adaptive polling to stop polling.
      
      By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make
      the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event
      loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen
      back to file descriptor monitoring.
      
      The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2
      event_idx=off using an IOThread. Before:
      
      168k IOPS, IOThread syscalls:
      
        9837.115 ( 0.020 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 16, iocbpp: 0x7fcb9f937db0)    = 16
        9837.158 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8)                         = 8
        9837.161 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8)                         = 8
        9837.163 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 ppoll(ufds: 0x7fcb90002800, nfds: 4, tsp: 0x7fcb9f1342d0, sigsetsize: 8) = 3
        9837.164 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 107, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512)                        = 8
        9837.174 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 105, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512)                        = 8
        9837.176 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 106, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512)                        = 8
        9837.209 ( 0.035 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fca7d0cebe0)    = 32
      
      174k IOPS (+3.6%), IOThread syscalls:
      
        9809.566 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0cdd62be0)    = 32
        9809.625 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8)                         = 8
        9809.627 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8)                         = 8
        9809.663 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0d0388b50)    = 32
      
      Notice that ppoll(2) and eventfd read(2) syscalls are eliminated because
      the IOThread stays in polling mode instead of falling back to file
      descriptor monitoring.
      
      As usual, polling is not implemented on Windows so this patch ignores
      the new io_poll_read() callback in aio-win32.c.
