If a server process has tons of pending socket connections, generally it uses epoll to wait for activity. When the socket is ready for reading (or writing), the task can select a buffer and issue a recv/send on the given fd. Now that we have fast (non-async thread) support, a task can have tons of pending reads or writes pending. But that means they need buffers to back that data, and if the number of connections is high enough, having them preallocated for all possible connections is unfeasible. With IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, an application can register buffers to use for any request. The request then sets IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT in the sqe, and a given group ID in sqe->buf_group. When the fd becomes ready, a free buffer from the specified group is selected. If none are available, the request is terminated with -ENOBUFS. If successful, the CQE on completion will contain the buffer ID chosen in the cqe->flags member, encoded as: (buffer_id << IORING_CQE_BUFFER_SHIFT) | IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER; Once a buffer has been consumed by a request, it is no longer available and must be registered again with IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS. Requests need to support this feature. For now, IORING_OP_READ and IORING_OP_RECV support it. This is checked on SQE submission, a CQE with res == -EOPNOTSUPP will be posted if attempted on unsupported requests. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |
