[PATCH io_uring-next/net-next v2 0/4] implement io_uring notification (ubuf_info) stacking



Please, don't take directly, conflicts with io_uring.

To have per request buffer notifications each zerocopy io_uring send
request allocates a new ubuf_info. However, as an skb can carry only
one uarg, it may force the stack to create many small skbs hurting
performance in many ways.

The patchset implements notification, i.e. an io_uring's ubuf_info
extension, stacking. It attempts to link ubuf_info's into a list,
allowing to have multiple of them per skb.

liburing/examples/send-zerocopy shows up 6 times performance improvement
for TCP with 4KB bytes per send, and levels it with MSG_ZEROCOPY. Without
the patchset it requires much larger sends to utilise all potential.

bytes  | before | after (Kqps)
1200   | 195    | 1023
4000   | 193    | 1386
8000   | 154    | 1058

The patches are on top of net-next + io_uring-next:

First two patches based on net-next:

v2: convert xen-netback to ubuf_info_ops (patch 1)
    drop two separately merged io_uring patches

Pavel Begunkov (4):
  net: extend ubuf_info callback to ops structure
  net: add callback for setting a ubuf_info to skb
  io_uring/notif: simplify io_notif_flush()
  io_uring/notif: implement notification stacking
