+Subject: io_uring: Use io_schedule* in cqring wait
+
+From: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
+
+commit 8a796565cec3601071cbbd27d6304e202019d014 upstream.
+
+I observed poor performance of io_uring compared to synchronous IO. That
+turns out to be caused by deeper CPU idle states entered with io_uring,
+due to io_uring using plain schedule(), whereas synchronous IO uses
+io_schedule().
+
+The losses due to this are substantial. On my cascade lake workstation,
+t/io_uring from the fio repository e.g. yields regressions between 20%
+and 40% with the following command:
+./t/io_uring -r 5 -X0 -d 1 -s 1 -c 1 -p 0 -S$use_sync -R 0 /mnt/t2/fio/write.0.0
+
+This is repeatable with different filesystems, using raw block devices
+and using different block devices.
+
+Use io_schedule_prepare() / io_schedule_finish() in
+io_cqring_wait_schedule() to address the difference.
+
+After that using io_uring is on par or surpassing synchronous IO (using
+registered files etc makes it reliably win, but arguably is a less fair
+comparison).
+
+There are other calls to schedule() in io_uring/, but none immediately
+jump out to be similarly situated, so I did not touch them. Similarly,
+it's possible that mutex_lock_io() should be used, but it's not clear if
+there are cases where that matters.
