Subject: [PATCH 0/2] virtio-fs: introduce multi-queue support
Date: Wed, 1 May 2024 17:38:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240501153817.540855-1-pgootzen@nvidia.com> (raw)

In this patch set we are adding multi-queue support in the virtio-fs
driver to enhance performance.
While multi-queue functionality has been in the virtio-fs specification
since its inception, the current implementation in the Linux kernel
creates multiple queues, but only enqueues requests on the first request
queue.

The first commit in this patch set limits the number of request queues
to the number of CPUs in the system, to reduce unnecessary resource
consumption on the device-side.
The second commit adds a multi queue mapping to the virtio-fs device
driver that is created using MSI-X affinity mappings or, in case of no
existing mappings, by evenly grouping the CPUs and dividing the queues
over these groups.

Future work in this direction could include:
- CPU hotplug support
- In case of no MSI-X, using the created multi-queue mapping to set
  interrupt affinities

See the commit message of the second patch for performance results.
