Chao Gao 816a430c51 util/aio: Defer disabling poll mode as long as possible ... When we measure FIO read performance (cache=writethrough, bs=4k, iodepth=64) in VMs, ~80K/s notifications (e.g., EPT_MISCONFIG) are observed from guest to qemu. It turns out those frequent notificatons are caused by interference from worker threads. Worker threads queue bottom halves after completing IO requests. Pending bottom halves may lead to either aio_compute_timeout() zeros timeout and pass it to try_poll_mode() or run_poll_handlers() returns no progress after noticing pending aio_notify() events. Both cause run_poll_handlers() to call poll_set_started(false) to disable poll mode. However, for both cases, as timeout is already zeroed, the event loop (i.e., aio_poll()) just processes bottom halves and then starts the next event loop iteration. So, disabling poll mode has no value but leads to unnecessary notifications from guest. To minimize unnecessary notifications from guest, defer disabling poll mode to when the event loop is about to be blocked. With this patch applied, FIO seq-read performance (bs=4k, iodepth=64, cache=writethrough) in VMs increases from 330K/s to 413K/s IOPS.
