Pull io_uring async discard support from Jens Axboe: "Sitting on top of both the 6.12 block and io_uring core branches, here's support for async discard through io_uring. This allows applications to issue async discards, rather than rely on the blocking sync ioctl discards we already have. The sync support is difficult to use outside of idle/cleanup periods. On a real (but slow) device, testing shows the following results when compared to sync discard: qd64 sync discard: 21K IOPS, lat avg 3 msec (max 21 msec) qd64 async discard: 76K IOPS, lat avg 845 usec (max 2.2 msec) qd64 sync discard: 14K IOPS, lat avg 5 msec (max 25 msec) qd64 async discard: 56K IOPS, lat avg 1153 usec (max 3.6 msec) and synthetic null_blk testing with the same queue depth and block size settings as above shows: Type Trim size IOPS Lat avg (usec) Lat Max (usec) ============================================================== sync 4k 144K 444 20314 async 4k 1353K 47 595 sync 1M 56K 1136 21031 async 1M 94K 680 760" * tag 'for-6.12/io_uring-discard-20240913' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: block: implement async io_uring discard cmd block: introduce blk_validate_byte_range() filemap: introduce filemap_invalidate_pages io_uring/cmd: give inline space in request to cmds io_uring/cmd: expose iowq to cmds
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
