Olivier Langlois 59b735aeeb io_uring: reduce latency by reissueing the operation
It is quite frequent that when an operation fails and returns EAGAIN,
the data becomes available between that failure and the call to
vfs_poll() done by io_arm_poll_handler().

Detecting the situation and reissuing the operation is much faster
than going ahead and push the operation to the io-wq.

Performance improvement testing has been performed with:
Single thread, 1 TCP connection receiving a 5 Mbps stream, no sqpoll.

4 measurements have been taken:
1. The time it takes to process a read request when data is already available
2. The time it takes to process by calling twice io_issue_sqe() after vfs_poll() indicated that data was available
3. The time it takes to execute io_queue_async_work()
4. The time it takes to complete a read request asynchronously

2.25% of all the read operations did use the new path.

async time completion
average	24670.4758861127
min	10758
max	102612
stddev	3483.92416873804

Conclusion:
On average reissuing the sqe with the patch code is 1.1uSec faster and
in the worse case scenario 59uSec faster than placing the request on
io-wq

On average completion time by reissuing the sqe with the patch code is
16.79uSec faster and in the worse case scenario 73.8uSec faster than
async completion.

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 Restructured Text 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.
