Subject: [PATCH v2] io_uring: unlock sqd->lock before sq thread release CPU
Date: Thu, 25 May 2023 16:26:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230525082626.577862-1-wenwen.chen@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: CGME20230525082004epcas5p1d05da68508feff3f9dd82646a0b40aff@epcas5p1.samsung.com

The sq thread actively releases CPU resources by calling the
cond_resched() and schedule() interfaces when it is idle. Therefore,
more resources are available for other threads to run.

There exists a problem in sq thread: it does not unlock sqd->lock before
releasing CPU resources every time. This makes other threads pending on
sqd->lock for a long time. For example, the following interfaces all
require sqd->lock: io_sq_offload_create(), io_register_iowq_max_workers()
and io_ring_exit_work().

Before the sq thread releases CPU resources, unlocking sqd->lock will
provide the user a better experience because it can respond quickly to
user requests.
