sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active
load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the
source rq prefers its LLC:
env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable
But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated
in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued,
so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/
clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks.
So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted
in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks,
alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task
off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this
is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB
skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one
we want.
Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in
nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC
(pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership
once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through
pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that
change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(),
set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same
predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting
or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering.
nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued
semantics.

Every SQE the server submits afterwards must follow the +same fixed-buffer protocol, carrying ``IORING_URING_CMD_FIXED`` and that same +``sqe->buf_index``. The same registered buffer can be reused for the server's +backing-store I/O as well (e.g. ``IORING_OP_READ_FIXED`` / +``IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED``). + +Zero-copy +========= +Requirements: + +* The server must be privileged (``CAP_SYS_ADMIN``). +* A zero-copy queue: ``ADD_QUEUE`` with the ``FUSE_URING_ZERO_COPY`` flag set. +* A buffer pool: ``ADD_BUFPOOL``. +* For each entry, ``REGISTER`` with ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index`` set to the + index this entry uses in the server's io_uring registered-buffer table. + This is where the kernel registers the request's pages for the server to + access (it is separate from the payload pool). On a non-zero-copy queue this + field must be 0. + +Zero-copy is selected per open file. The server sets the open-file flag in +the ``FUSE_OPEN`` / ``FUSE_CREATE`` reply: + +``FOPEN_IO_URING_ZERO_COPY`` + Reads/writes on this open file should use zero-copy. + +For a request that is zero-copied, the kernel sets ``FUSE_URING_ENT_ZERO_COPY`` +in ``fuse_uring_ent_in_out.flags`` and places the request's pages at the +entry's ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index``. The server then issues +``IORING_OP_READ_FIXED`` / ``IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED`` against that index to +transfer the data directly to/from the client's pages. + +For such a request, ``payload_sz`` includes the zero-copied page bytes +(transferred via the registered buffer at ``ent_zero_copy_buf_index``). Any +non-page-backed args (e.g. op headers) are still copied through the pool +payload buffer at ``offset``. |
