Subject: [PATCH v4 11/19] ublk: optimize ublk_user_copy() on daemon task
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 02:19:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108091948.1099139-12-csander@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108091948.1099139-1-csander@purestorage.com>
ublk user copy syscalls may be issued from any task, so they take a
reference count on the struct ublk_io to check whether it is owned by
the ublk server and prevent a concurrent UBLK_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ
from completing the request. However, if the user copy syscall is issued
on the io's daemon task, a concurrent UBLK_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ isn't
possible, so the atomic reference count dance is unnecessary. Check for
UBLK_IO_FLAG_OWNED_BY_SRV to ensure the request is dispatched to the
sever and obtain the request from ublk_io's req field instead of looking
it up on the tagset. Skip the reference count increment and decrement.
Commit 8a8fe42d765b ("ublk: optimize UBLK_IO_REGISTER_IO_BUF on daemon
task") made an analogous optimization for ublk zero copy buffer
registration.
