virtio-blk and virtio-scsi invoke virtio_irqfd_notify() to send Used
Buffer Notifications from an IOThread. This involves an eventfd
write(2) syscall. Calling this repeatedly when completing multiple I/O
requests in a row is wasteful.
Use the defer_call() API to batch together virtio_irqfd_notify() calls
made during thread pool (aio=threads), Linux AIO (aio=native), and
io_uring (aio=io_uring) completion processing.
Behavior is unchanged for emulated devices that do not use
defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() since defer_call() immediately
invokes the callback when called outside a
defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() region.
fio rw=randread bs=4k iodepth=64 numjobs=8 IOPS increases by ~9% with a
single IOThread and 8 vCPUs. iodepth=1 decreases by ~1% but this could
be noise. Detailed performance data and configuration specifics are
available here:
https://gitlab.com/stefanha/virt-playbooks/-/tree/blk_io_plug-irqfd
This duplicates the BH that virtio-blk uses for batching. The next
commit will remove it.

The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code
to util/ where it can be reused.
As a reminder of what defer_call() does:
This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end()
section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance
optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests
at once instead of individually:
defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section
...
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
...
defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once

Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue
block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O
submission instead.
Note that a dev_max_batch check is dropped in laio_io_unplug() because
the semantics of unplug_fn() are different from .bdrv_co_unplug():
1. unplug_fn() is only called when the last blk_io_unplug() call occurs,
not every time blk_io_unplug() is called.
2. unplug_fn() is per-thread, not per-BlockDriverState, so there is no
way to get per-BlockDriverState fields like dev_max_batch.
Therefore this condition cannot be moved to laio_unplug_fn(). It is not
obvious that this condition affects performance in practice, so I am
removing it instead of trying to come up with a more complex mechanism
to preserve the condition.

a plugged counter that tracks the number of levels of plugging and
allows for nesting.
The plugged counter must reflect the balance between laio_io_plug() and

io_submit(2) calls are skipped while plugged.

Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus
handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a
significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for
a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time.
For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk
device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This
can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause
adaptive polling to stop polling.
By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make
the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event
loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen
back to file descriptor monitoring.
The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2
event_idx=off using an IOThread. Before:
168k IOPS, IOThread syscalls:
9837.115 ( 0.020 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 16, iocbpp: 0x7fcb9f937db0) = 16

9837.163 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 ppoll(ufds: 0x7fcb90002800, nfds: 4, tsp: 0x7fcb9f1342d0, sigsetsize: 8) = 3
9837.164 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 107, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8

9837.176 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 106, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.209 ( 0.035 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fca7d0cebe0) = 32
174k IOPS (+3.6%), IOThread syscalls:
9809.566 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0cdd62be0) = 32

9809.627 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8
9809.663 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0d0388b50) = 32
Notice that ppoll(2) and eventfd read(2) syscalls are eliminated because
the IOThread stays in polling mode instead of falling back to file
descriptor monitoring.
As usual, polling is not implemented on Windows so this patch ignores
the new io_poll_read() callback in aio-win32.c.

When there are multiple queues attached to the same AIO context,
some requests may experience high latency, since in the worst case
the AIO engine queue is only flushed when it is full (MAX_EVENTS) or
there are no more queues plugged.
Commit 2558cb8dd4 ("linux-aio: increasing MAX_EVENTS to a larger
hardcoded value") changed MAX_EVENTS from 128 to 1024, to increase
the number of in-flight requests. But this change also increased
the potential maximum batch to 1024 elements.
When there is a single queue attached to the AIO context, the issue
is mitigated from laio_io_unplug() that will flush the queue every
time is invoked since there can't be others queue plugged.
Let's use the new `aio-max-batch` IOThread parameter to mitigate
this issue, limiting the number of requests in a batch.
We also define a default value (32): this value is obtained running
some benchmarks and it represents a good tradeoff between the latency
increase while a request is queued and the cost of the io_submit(2)
system call.

Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):
--v-- description start --v--
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
array member [1], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
Linux codebase from now on.
--^-- description end --^--
Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).
All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following Coccinelle script:

Since commit 6040aedddb "virtio-blk:

more than 128 ,it will not take effect. That's because linux aio's
maximum outstanding requests at a time is always less than or equal
to 128.
This patch simply increase MAX_EVENTS to a larger hardcoded value of
1024 as a shortterm fix.

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().
To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called
early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The
signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems
preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing
initialization calls.
Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a
LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context
callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a
new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for
any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the
device is already in-use by the guest.
Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.
