Series linux-aio: limit the batch size to reduce queue latency | expand

Commit Message

Stefano Garzarella July 7, 2021, 3 p.m. UTC
The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines
and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests.

When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,
the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel.

This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO
engine queue.

If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will
use its default maximum batch size value.

Fixed in v2 also in include/block/aio.h :-)
