nvme/io_uring: optimize IOPOLL completions for local ring context
When multiple io_uring rings poll on the same NVMe queue, one ring can find completions belonging to another ring. The current code always uses task_work to handle this, but this adds overhead for the common single-ring case. This patch passes the polling io_ring_ctx through io_comp_batch's new poll_ctx field. In io_do_iopoll(), the polling ring's context is stored in iob.poll_ctx before calling the iopoll callbacks. In nvme_uring_cmd_end_io(), we now compare iob->poll_ctx with the request's owning io_ring_ctx (via io_uring_cmd_ctx_handle()). If they match (local context), we complete inline with io_uring_cmd_done32(). If they differ (remote context) or iob is NULL (non-iopoll path), we use task_work as before. This optimization eliminates task_work scheduling overhead for the common case where a ring polls and finds its own completions. ~10% IOPS improvement is observed in the following benchmark: fio/t/io_uring -b512 -d128 -c32 -s32 -p1 -F1 -O0 -P1 -u1 -n1 /dev/ng0n1 Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
