Add __kfifo_alloc_node() by refactoring and reusing __kfifo_alloc(),
and define kfifo_alloc_node() macro to support NUMA-aware memory
allocation.
The new __kfifo_alloc_node() function accepts a NUMA node parameter
and uses kmalloc_array_node() instead of kmalloc_array() for
node-specific allocation. The existing __kfifo_alloc() now calls
__kfifo_alloc_node() with NUMA_NO_NODE to maintain backward
compatibility.
This enables users to allocate kfifo buffers on specific NUMA nodes,
which is important for performance in NUMA systems where the kfifo
will be primarily accessed by threads running on specific nodes.

I was about to ask "please don't add infrastructure without users", but
I see a "01/27" there. I wander over to lkml but I can't find 02-27
there either. Maybe something went wrong.
I prefer to be cc'ed on the entire series, please.

Well this is an eyesore. Do we really need it? It seems to be here so
we can check for a programming bug? Well, don't add programming bugs!
I'm actually not enjoying the existence of __is_kfifo_ptr() at all.
What is it all doing? It's a FIFO for heck's sake, why is this so hard.

Nit: please align things like this:
extern int __kfifo_alloc_node(struct __kfifo *fifo, unsigned int size,
size_t esize, gfp_t gfp_mask, int node);

It is basically a clone of existing kfifo_alloc().
Do we need to clean kfifo_alloc() first? Otherwise I'd keep the same
pattern with existing definitions.

Is OK, I was just whining. Possibly de-over-engineering kifo is a
separate project.

Is it worth keeping __kfifo_alloc() as an extern function? Seems like
it would make the executable smaller to turn __kfifo_alloc() into a
static inline function that just defers to __kfifo_alloc_node().
Best,

OK, will convert to inline __kfifo_alloc() in next version.

Add parameter `struct io_uring_cmd *` to ublk_prep_auto_buf_reg() and
prepare for reusing this helper for the coming UBLK_BATCH_IO feature,
which can fetch & commit one batch of io commands via single uring_cmd.

Add `union ublk_io_buf` for naming the anonymous union of struct ublk_io's
addr and buf fields, meantime apply it to `struct ublk_io` for storing either
ublk auto buffer register data or ublk server io buffer address.
The union uses clear field names:
- `addr`: for regular ublk server io buffer addresses
- `auto_reg`: for ublk auto buffer registration data
This eliminates confusing access patterns and improves code readability.

Refactor auto buffer register code and prepare for supporting batch IO
feature, and the main motivation is to put 'ublk_io' operation code
together, so that per-io lock can be applied for the code block.
The key changes are:
- Rename ublk_auto_buf_reg() as ublk_do_auto_buf_reg()
- Introduce an enum `auto_buf_reg_res` to represent the result of
the buffer registration attempt (FAIL, FALLBACK, OK).
- Split the existing `ublk_do_auto_buf_reg` function into two:
- `__ublk_do_auto_buf_reg`: Performs the actual buffer registration
and returns the `auto_buf_reg_res` status.
- `ublk_do_auto_buf_reg`: A wrapper that calls the internal function
and handles the I/O preparation based on the result.
- Introduce `ublk_prep_auto_buf_reg_io` to encapsulate the logic for
preparing the I/O for completion after buffer registration.
- Pass the `tag` directly to `ublk_auto_buf_reg_fallback` to avoid
recalculating it.
This refactoring makes the control flow clearer and isolates the different
stages of the auto buffer registration process.

Add helper __ublk_fetch() for refactoring ublk_fetch().
Meantime move ublk_config_io_buf() out of __ublk_fetch() to make
the code structure cleaner.

This changes ublk_config_io_buf() to be called *after*
ublk_mark_io_ready(). Is that safe? It seems like io->addr could be
read in ublk_setup_iod() as soon as the ublk device is marked as ready
for I/O.

disk can't be added unless acquiring ub->mutex, so it is safe.

Okay, I see what you mean. ub->mutex is acquired after
wait_for_completion_interruptible() in ublk_ctrl_start_dev() and
ublk_ctrl_end_recovery() before allowing I/O to the ublk device. Then,

Introduces the basic structure for a batched I/O feature in the ublk driver.
It adds placeholder functions and a new file operations structure,
ublk_ch_batch_io_fops, which will be used for fetching and committing I/O
commands in batches. Currently, the feature is disabled.

batch io is designed to be independent of task context, and we will not
track task context for batch io feature.
So warn on non-batch-io code paths.

I don't see any warning? Remove this sentence from the commit description?

Add new command UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS, which is the batch version of
UBLK_IO_FETCH_REQ.
Add new command UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS, which is for committing io command
result only, still the batch version.
The new command header type is `struct ublk_batch_io`, and fixed buffer is
required for these two uring_cmd.
This patch doesn't actually implement these commands yet, just validates the
SQE fields.

This could probably be implemented in a less branchy way using
conditional moves:
unsigned elem_bytes = sizeof(struct ublk_elem_header) +
(uc->flags & UBLK_BATCH_F_HAS_ZONE_LBA ? sizeof(u64) : 0) +
(uc->flags & UBLK_BATCH_F_HAS_BUF_ADDR ? sizeof(u64) : 0);

These fields aren't actually copied from the uring_cmd, so this check

Is the out label really necessary if there's no cleanup involved? Can

sqe->len should be accessed with READ_ONCE() since it may point to
user-mapped memory.

Actually, is there any point in this check since sqe->len is no longer
used anywhere?

This commit implements the handling of the UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS command,
which allows userspace to prepare a batch of I/O requests.
The core of this change is the `ublk_walk_cmd_buf` function, which iterates
over the elements in the uring_cmd fixed buffer. For each element, it parses
the I/O details, finds the corresponding `ublk_io` structure, and prepares it
for future dispatch.
Add per-io lock for protecting concurrent delivery and committing.

sqe-> addr should be accessed with READ_ONCE() since it may point to

Mentioned this on V1 as well, but the iter.done check is duplicated in
ublk_batch_revert_prep_cmd().

OK.
BTW, it has been changed to plain copy_from_user() in my local version by
dropping fixed buffer for commit/prep ios command.
There is also one big bug fix in patch 'ublk: add batch I/O dispatch infrastructure',
Do you prefer to continuing to review on V3 or the coming V4?
If you prefer to V4, I can prepare and send it soon.

Add ublk io events fifo structure and prepare for supporting command
batch, which will use io_uring multishot uring_cmd for fetching one
batch of io commands each time.
One nice feature of kfifo is to allow multiple producer vs single
consumer. We just need lock the producer side, meantime the single
consumer can be lockless.
The producer is actually from ublk_queue_rq() or ublk_queue_rqs(), so
lock contention can be eased by setting proper blk-mq nr_queues.

Add infrastructure for delivering I/O commands to ublk server in batches,
preparing for the upcoming UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS feature.
Key components:
- struct ublk_batch_fcmd: Represents a batch fetch uring_cmd that will
receive multiple I/O tags in a single operation, using io_uring's
multishot command for efficient ublk IO delivery.
- ublk_batch_dispatch(): Batch version of ublk_dispatch_req() that:
* Pulls multiple request tags from the events FIFO (lock-free reader)
* Prepares each I/O for delivery (including auto buffer registration)
* Delivers tags to userspace via single uring_cmd notification
* Handles partial failures by restoring undelivered tags to FIFO
The batch approach significantly reduces notification overhead by aggregating
multiple I/O completions into single uring_cmd, while maintaining the same
I/O processing semantics as individual operations.
Error handling ensures system consistency: if buffer selection or CQE
posting fails, undelivered tags are restored to the FIFO for retry.
This runs in task work context, scheduled via io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task()
or called directly from ->uring_cmd(), enabling efficient batch processing
without blocking the I/O submission path.

Add UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS command to enable efficient batch processing
of I/O requests. This multishot uring_cmd allows the ublk server to fetch
multiple I/O commands in a single operation, significantly reducing
submission overhead compared to individual FETCH_REQ* commands.
Key Design Features:
1. Multishot Operation: One UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS can fetch many I/O
commands, with the batch size limited by the provided buffer length.
2. Dynamic Load Balancing: Multiple fetch commands can be submitted
simultaneously, but only one is active at any time. This enables
efficient load distribution across multiple server task contexts.
3. Implicit State Management: The implementation uses three key variables
to track state:
- evts_fifo: Queue of request tags awaiting processing
- fcmd_head: List of available fetch commands
- active_fcmd: Currently active fetch command (NULL = none active)
States are derived implicitly:
- IDLE: No fetch commands available
- READY: Fetch commands available, none active
- ACTIVE: One fetch command processing events
4. Lockless Reader Optimization: The active fetch command can read from
evts_fifo without locking (single reader guarantee), while writers
(ublk_queue_rq/ublk_queue_rqs) use evts_lock protection. The memory
barrier pairing plays key role for the single lockless reader
optimization.
Implementation Details:
- ublk_queue_rq() and ublk_queue_rqs() save request tags to evts_fifo
- __ublk_pick_active_fcmd() selects an available fetch command when
events arrive and no command is currently active
- ublk_batch_dispatch() moves tags from evts_fifo to the fetch command's
buffer and posts completion via io_uring_mshot_cmd_post_cqe()
- State transitions are coordinated via evts_lock to maintain consistency

In case of BATCH_IO, any request filled in event kfifo, they don't get
chance to be dispatched any more when releasing ublk char device, so
we have to abort them too.
Add ublk_abort_batch_queue() for aborting this kind of requests.

Add new feature UBLK_F_BATCH_IO which replaces the following two
per-io commands:
- UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_REQ
- UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ
with three per-queue batch io uring_cmd:
- UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS
- UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS
- UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS
Then ublk can deliver batch io commands to ublk server in single
multishort uring_cmd, also allows to prepare & commit multiple
commands in batch style via single uring_cmd, communication cost is
reduced a lot.
This feature also doesn't limit task context any more for all supported
commands, so any allowed uring_cmd can be issued in any task context.
ublk server implementation becomes much easier.
Meantime load balance becomes much easier to support with this feature.
The command `UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS` can be issued from multiple task
contexts, so each task can adjust this command's buffer length or number
of inflight commands for controlling how much load is handled by current
task.
Later, priority parameter will be added to command `UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS`
for improving load balance support.
UBLK_U_IO_GET_DATA isn't supported in batch io yet, but it may be
enabled in future via its batch pair.

+Batch I/O Commands (UBLK_F_BATCH_IO)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``UBLK_F_BATCH_IO`` feature provides an alternative high-performance
+I/O handling model that replaces the traditional per-I/O commands with
+per-queue batch commands. This significantly reduces communication overhead
+and enables better load balancing across multiple server tasks.
+
+Key differences from traditional mode:
+
+- **Per-queue vs Per-I/O**: Commands operate on queues rather than individual I/Os
+- **Batch processing**: Multiple I/Os are handled in single operations
+- **Multishot commands**: Use io_uring multishot for reduced submission overhead
+- **Flexible task assignment**: Any task can handle any I/O (no per-I/O daemons)
+- **Better load balancing**: Tasks can adjust their workload dynamically
+
+Batch I/O Commands:
+
+- ``UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS``
+
+ Prepares multiple I/O commands in batch. The server provides a buffer
+ containing multiple I/O descriptors that will be processed together.
+ This reduces the number of individual command submissions required.
+
+- ``UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS``
+
+ Commits results for multiple I/O operations in batch. The server provides
+ a buffer containing the results of multiple completed I/Os, allowing
+ efficient bulk completion of requests.
+
+- ``UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS``
+
+ **Multishot command** for fetching I/O commands in batch. This is the key
+ command that enables high-performance batch processing:
+
+ * Uses io_uring multishot capability for reduced submission overhead
+ * Single command can fetch multiple I/O requests over time
+ * Buffer size determines maximum batch size per operation
+ * Multiple fetch commands can be submitted for load balancing
+ * Only one fetch command is active at any time per queue
+ * Supports dynamic load balancing across multiple server tasks
+
+ Each task can submit ``UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS`` with different buffer
+ sizes to control how much work it handles. This enables sophisticated
+ load balancing strategies in multi-threaded servers.
+
+Migration: Applications using traditional commands (``UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_REQ``,
+``UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ``) cannot use batch mode simultaneously.

Reduce overhead when completing multiple requests in batch I/O mode by
accumulating them in an io_comp_batch structure and completing them
together via blk_mq_end_request_batch(). This minimizes per-request
completion overhead and improves performance for high IOPS workloads.
The implementation adds an io_comp_batch pointer to struct ublk_io and
initializes it in __ublk_fetch(). For batch I/O, the pointer is set to
the batch structure in ublk_batch_commit_io(). The __ublk_complete_rq()
function uses io->iob to call blk_mq_add_to_batch() for batch mode.
After processing all batch I/Os, the completion callback is invoked in
ublk_handle_batch_commit_cmd() to complete all accumulated requests
efficiently.
So far just covers direct completion. For deferred completion(zero copy,
auto buffer reg), ublk_io_release() is often delayed in freeing buffer
consumer io_uring request's code path, so this patch often doesn't work,
also it is hard to pass the per-task 'struct io_comp_batch' for deferred
completion.

The build_user_data() function packs multiple fields into a __u64
value using bit shifts. Without explicit __u64 casts before shifting,
the shift operations are performed on 32-bit unsigned integers before
being promoted to 64-bit, causing data loss.
Specifically, when tgt_data >= 256, the expression (tgt_data << 24)
shifts on a 32-bit value, truncating the upper 8 bits before promotion
to __u64. Since tgt_data can be up to 16 bits (assertion allows up to
65535), values >= 256 would have their high byte lost.
Add explicit __u64 casts to both op and tgt_data before shifting to
ensure the shift operations happen in 64-bit space, preserving all
bits of the input values.
user_data_to_tgt_data() is only used by stripe.c, in which the max
supported member disks are 4, so won't trigger this issue.

Replace assert() with ublk_assert() since it is often triggered in daemon,
and we may get nothing shown in terminal.
Add ublk_assert(), so we can log something to syslog when assert() is
triggered.

Since UBLK_F_PER_IO_DAEMON is added, io buffer index may depend on current
thread because the common way is to use per-pthread io_ring_ctx for issuing
ublk uring_cmd.
Add one helper for returning io buffer index, so we can hide the buffer
index implementation details for target code.

Add the foundational infrastructure for UBLK_F_BATCH_IO buffer
management including:
- Allocator utility functions for small sized per-thread allocation
- Batch buffer allocation and deallocation functions
- Buffer index management for commit buffers
- Thread state management for batch I/O mode
- Buffer size calculation based on device features
This prepares the groundwork for handling batch I/O commands by
establishing the buffer management layer needed for UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS
and UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS operations.
The allocator uses CPU sets for efficient per-thread buffer tracking,
and commit buffers are pre-allocated with 2 buffers per thread to handle
overlapping command operations.

Implement support for UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS in the batch I/O framework:
- Add batch command initialization and setup functions
- Implement prep command queueing with proper buffer management
- Add command completion handling for prep and commit commands
- Integrate batch I/O setup into thread initialization
- Update CQE handling to support batch commands
The implementation uses the previously established buffer management
infrastructure to queue UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS commands. Commands are
prepared in the first thread context and use commit buffers for
efficient command batching.
Key changes:
- ublk_batch_queue_prep_io_cmds() prepares I/O command batches
- ublk_batch_compl_cmd() handles batch command completions
- Modified thread setup to use batch operations when enabled
- Enhanced buffer index calculation for batch mode

Implement UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS to enable efficient batched
completion of I/O operations in the batch I/O framework.
This completes the batch I/O infrastructure by adding the commit
phase that notifies the kernel about completed I/O operations:
Key features:
- Batch multiple I/O completions into single UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS
- Dynamic commit buffer allocation and management per thread
- Automatic commit buffer preparation before processing events
- Commit buffer submission after processing completed I/Os
- Integration with existing completion workflows
Implementation details:
- ublk_batch_prep_commit() allocates and initializes commit buffers
- ublk_batch_complete_io() adds completed I/Os to current batch
- ublk_batch_commit_io_cmds() submits batched completions to kernel
- Modified ublk_process_io() to handle batch commit lifecycle
- Enhanced ublk_complete_io() to route to batch or legacy completion
The commit buffer stores completion information (tag, result, buffer
details) for multiple I/Os, then submits them all at once, significantly
reducing syscall overhead compared to individual I/O completions.

To: Jens Axboe, linux-block; +Cc: Caleb Sander Mateos, Uday Shankar, Ming Lei
Add support for UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS to enable efficient batch
fetching of I/O commands using multishot io_uring operations.
Key improvements:
- Implement multishot UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS for continuous command fetching
- Add fetch buffer management with page-aligned, mlocked buffers
- Process fetched I/O command tags from kernel-provided buffers
- Integrate fetch operations with existing batch I/O infrastructure
- Significantly reduce uring_cmd issuing overhead through batching
The implementation uses two fetch buffers per thread with automatic
requeuing to maintain continuous I/O command flow. Each fetch operation
retrieves multiple command tags in a single syscall, dramatically
improving performance compared to individual command fetching.
Technical details:
- Fetch buffers are page-aligned and mlocked for optimal performance
- Uses IORING_URING_CMD_MULTISHOT for continuous operation
- Automatic buffer management and requeuing on completion
- Enhanced CQE handling for fetch command completions

From: Ming Lei @ 2025-11-12 9:38 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Jens Axboe, linux-block; +Cc: Caleb Sander Mateos, Uday Shankar, Ming Lei
Enable flexible thread-to-queue mapping in batch I/O mode to support
arbitrary combinations of threads and queues, improving resource
utilization and scalability.
Key improvements:
- Support N:M thread-to-queue mapping (previously limited to 1:1)
- Dynamic buffer allocation based on actual queue assignment per thread
- Thread-safe queue preparation with spinlock protection
- Intelligent buffer index calculation for multi-queue scenarios
- Enhanced validation for thread/queue combination constraints
Implementation details:
- Add q_thread_map matrix to track queue-to-thread assignments
- Dynamic allocation of commit and fetch buffers per thread
- Round-robin queue assignment algorithm for load balancing
- Per-queue spinlock to prevent race conditions during prep
- Updated buffer index calculation using queue position within thread
This enables efficient configurations like:
- Any other N:M combinations for optimal resource matching
Testing:
- Added test_generic_15.sh: 4 threads vs 1 queue
- Added test_generic_16.sh: 1 thread vs 4 queues
- Validates correctness across different mapping scenarios
