[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 00/12] Add support for io_uring

[Aarushi Mehta]

This patch series adds support for the newly developed io_uring Linux AIO
interface. Linux io_uring is faster than Linux's AIO asynchronous I/O code,
offers efficient buffered asynchronous I/O support, the ability to do I/O
without performing a system call via polled I/O, and other efficiency 
enhancements.

Testing it requires a host kernel (5.1+) and the liburing library.
Use the option -drive aio=io_uring to enable it.

v5:
- Adds completion polling
- Extends qemu-io
- Adds qemu-iotest

v4:
- Add error handling
- Add trace events
- Remove aio submission based code

v3:
- Fix major errors in io_uring (sorry)
- Option now enumerates for CONFIG_LINUX_IO_URING
- pkg config support added

Aarushi Mehta (12):
  configure: permit use of io_uring
  qapi/block-core: add option for io_uring Only enumerates option for
    devices that support it
  block/block: add BDRV flag for io_uring
  block/io_uring: implements interfaces for io_uring Aborts when sqe
    fails to be set as sqes cannot be returned to the ring.
  stubs: add stubs for io_uring interface
  util/async: add aio interfaces for io_uring
  blockdev: accept io_uring as option
  block/file-posix.c: extend to use io_uring
  block: add trace events for io_uring
  block/io_uring: adds userspace completion polling
  qemu-io: adds support for io_uring
  qemu-iotests/087: checks for io_uring
