[PATCH 0/3] virtio_blk: blk-mq io_poll support

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

This patch series implements blk_mq_ops->poll() so REQ_HIPRI requests can be
polled. IOPS for 4k and 16k block sizes increases by 5-18% on a virtio-blk
device with 4 virtqueues backed by an NVMe drive.

- Benchmark: fio ioengine=pvsync2 numjobs=4 direct=1
- Guest: 4 vCPUs with one virtio-blk device (4 virtqueues)
- Disk: Intel Corporation NVMe Datacenter SSD [Optane] [8086:2701]
- CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4214 CPU @ 2.20GHz

Larger block sizes do not benefit from polling as much but the
improvement is worthwhile for smaller block sizes.

Stefan Hajnoczi (3):
  virtio: add virtioqueue_more_used()
  virtio_blk: avoid repeating vblk->vqs[qid]
  virtio_blk: implement blk_mq_ops->poll()
