Subject: virtio-blk: support polling I/O
Git-commit: 4e0400525691d0e676dbe002641f9a61261f1e1b
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1559

This patch supports polling I/O via virtio-blk driver. Polling
feature is enabled by module parameter "poll_queues" and it sets
dedicated polling queues for virtio-blk. This patch improves the
polling I/O throughput and latency.

The virtio-blk driver doesn't not have a poll function and a poll
queue and it has been operating in interrupt driven method even if
the polling function is called in the upper layer.

virtio-blk polling is implemented upon 'batched completion' of block
layer. virtblk_poll() queues completed request to io_comp_batch->req_list
and later, virtblk_complete_batch() calls unmap function and ends
the requests in batch.

virtio-blk reads the number of poll queues from module parameter
"poll_queues". If VM sets queue parameter as below,
("num-queues=N" [QEMU property], "poll_queues=M" [module parameter])
It allocates N virtqueues to virtio_blk->vqs[N] and it uses [0..(N-M-1)]
as default queues and [(N-M)..(N-1)] as poll queues. Unlike the default
queues, the poll queues have no callback function.

Regarding HW-SW queue mapping, the default queue mapping uses the
existing method that condsiders MSI irq vector. But the poll queue
doesn't have an irq, so it uses the regular blk-mq cpu mapping.

For verifying the improvement, I did Fio polling I/O performance test
with io_uring engine with the options below.
(io_uring, hipri, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=N)
I set 4 vcpu and 4 virtio-blk queues - 2 default queues and 2 poll
queues for VM.

As a result, IOPS and average latency improved about 10%.

Test result:

- Fio io_uring poll without virtio-blk poll support
	-- numjobs=1 : IOPS = 339K, avg latency = 188.33us
	-- numjobs=2 : IOPS = 367K, avg latency = 347.33us
	-- numjobs=4 : IOPS = 383K, avg latency = 682.06us

- Fio io_uring poll with virtio-blk poll support
	-- numjobs=1 : IOPS = 385K, avg latency = 165.94us
	-- numjobs=2 : IOPS = 408K, avg latency = 313.28us
	-- numjobs=4 : IOPS = 424K, avg latency = 613.05us
