Subject: [PATCH v2] io_uring: reduce latency by reissueing the operation

It is quite frequent that when an operation fails and returns EAGAIN,
the data becomes available between that failure and the call to
vfs_poll() done by io_arm_poll_handler().

Detecting the situation and reissuing the operation is much faster
than going ahead and push the operation to the io-wq.

Hi,

How exactly?

by adding spaces?
Changing the define names??

Please add a new line here. Can even be moved somewhere
to the top, but it's a matter of taste.

Also, how about to rename it to apoll? io_uring internal
rw/send/recv polling is often abbreviated as such around
io_uring.c
IO_APOLL_OK and so on.

It's not really an error. Maybe IO_APOLL_ABORTED or so?

Checked assembly, the fast path looks ok (i.e. not affected).
Also, a note, linked_timeout is handled correctly.

Adding spaces would be sufficient IMO (like Pavel suggested also).

fwiw, I mean totally replacing *_ERR, not only this return

Sure no problem.

This hasn't been reported by checkpatch.pl but I have just discovered
codespell... Maybe this addon reports more issues than vanilla
checkpatch

If you let me decide, I prefer to let them close to where they are
used. There is so much data definitions in the heading section that I
feel like putting very minor implementation details to it might
overwhelm newcomers instead of helping them to grasp the big picture.

but I will add an extra space as you request

Oh yeah, I think any is fine. And there are others
happily living in this style, like FFS_ASYNC_READ

btw, it doesn't apply cleanly for me, conflicts
with your trace changes. Can you check that you're
on an up-to-date revision? I.e.

Not super important, but I greatly prefer:

if (ret)
return IO_ARM_POLL_READY;
return IO_ARM_POLL_ERR;

as that's a lot more readable to me. This is orthogonal to the currently
missing spaces, of course.

For the defines, an enum would be preferable too. And place it near where
it's used.
