Subject: [PATCH 13/20] ublk: optimize ublk_user_copy() on daemon task
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 22:34:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217053455.281509-14-csander@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217053455.281509-1-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.
