For the grand introduction to this feature, see my original posting
here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20181117235317.7366-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

and refer to the previous postings of this patchset for whatever
features were added there. Particularly v4 has some performance results:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20181130165646.27341-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

See changelog for other changes, but this specifically adds support for
kernel side backing for the SQ/CQ ring interface. There are two modes:

1) IOCTX_FLAG_SQTHREAD. This adds a single thread backing. Right now
   this needs to be woken up through io_ring_enter(2), but I'm also
   planning a polled mode where an application can submit IO without
   ever entering the kernel.

2) IOCTX_FLAG_SQWQ. Like SQTHREAD, this adds a kernel side backing for
   IO submission. This one uses a workqueue, so we can have higher
   levels of concurrency. The main use case here is buffered AIO. With
   this, we can support buffered aio with QD > 1. For cached data, we
   avoid doing a workqueue punt for reads. So those should return
   without any extra context switches.


Find it here for your cgit browsing:

http://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux-block/log/?h=aio-poll

or clone/pull from this branch:

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block aio-poll

Since v6:

- Add support for async buffered IO, through kthread/workqueue backing
- Rename aio_kiocb flags
- Comment new syscalls
- Bug fixes
