Subject: [PATCH V6 17/17] block: ublk_drv: apply io_uring FUSED_CMD for supporting zero copy
Apply io_uring fused command for supporting zero copy:
1) init the fused cmd buffer(io_mapped_buf) in ublk_map_io(), and deinit it
in ublk_unmap_io(), and this buffer is immutable, so it is just fine to
retrieve it from concurrent fused command.
1) add sub-command opcode of UBLK_IO_FUSED_SUBMIT_IO for retrieving this
fused cmd(zero copy) buffer
2) call io_fused_cmd_start_secondary_req() to provide buffer to secondary
request and submit secondary request; meantime setup complete callback via
this API, once secondary request is completed, the complete callback is
called for freeing the buffer and completing the fused command
Also request reference is held during fused command lifetime, and this way
guarantees that request buffer won't be freed until all inflight fused
commands are completed.

``UBLK_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ`` to the server, ublkdrv needs to copy
the server buffer (pages) read to the IO request pages.
-Future development
-==================
+- ``UBLK_IO_FUSED_SUBMIT_IO``
+
+ Used for implementing zero copy feature.
+
+ It has to been the primary command of io_uring fused command. This command
+ submits the generic secondary IO request with io buffer provided by our primary
+ command, and won't be completed until the secondary request is done.
+
+ The provided buffer is represented as ``io_uring_bvec_buf``, which is
+ actually ublk request buffer's reference, and the reference is shared &
+ read-only, so the generic secondary request can retrieve any part of the buffer
+ by passing buffer offset & length.
Zero copy
----------
+=========
+
+What is zero copy?
+------------------
+
+When application submits IO to ``/dev/ublkb*``, userspace buffer(direct io)
+or page cache buffer(buffered io) or kernel buffer(meta io often) is used
+for submitting data to ublk driver, and all kinds of these buffers are
+represented by bio/bvecs(ublk request buffer) finally. Before supporting
+zero copy, data in these buffers has to be copied to ublk server userspace
+buffer before handling WRITE IO, or after handing READ IO, so that ublk
+server can handle IO for ``/dev/ublkb*`` with the copied data.
+
+The extra copy between ublk request buffer and ublk server userspace buffer
+not only increases CPU utilization(such as pinning pages, copy data), but
+also consumes memory bandwidth, and the cost could be very big when IO size
+is big. It is observed that ublk-null IOPS may be increased to ~5X if the
+extra copy can be avoided.
+
+So zero copy is very important for supporting high performance block device
+in userspace.
+
+Technical requirements
+----------------------
+
+- ublk request buffer use
+
+ublk request buffer is represented by bio/bvec, which is immutable, so do
+not try to change bvec via buffer reference; data can be read from or
+written to the buffer according to buffer direction, but bvec can't be
+changed
+
+- buffer lifetime
+
+Ublk server borrows ublk request buffer for handling ublk IO, ublk request
+buffer reference is used. Reference can't outlive the referent buffer. That
+means all request buffer references have to be released by ublk server
+before ublk driver completes this request, when request buffer ownership
+is transferred to upper layer(FS, application, ...).
+
+Also after ublk request is completed, any page belonging to this ublk
+request can not be written or read any more from ublk server since it is
+one block device from kernel viewpoint.
+
+- buffer direction
+
+For ublk WRITE request, ublk request buffer should only be accessed as data
+source, and the buffer can't be written by ublk server
+
+For ublk READ request, ublk request buffer should only be accessed as data
+destination, and the buffer can't be read by ublk server, otherwise kernel
+data is leaked to ublk server, which can be unprivileged application.
+
+- arbitrary size sub-buffer needs to be retrieved from ublk server
+
+ublk is one generic framework for implementing block device in userspace,
+and typical requirements include logical volume manager(mirror, stripped, ...),
+distributed network storage, compressed target, ...
+
+ublk server needs to retrieve arbitrary size sub-buffer of ublk request, and
+ublk server needs to submit IOs with these sub-buffer(s). That also means
+arbitrary size sub-buffer(s) can be used to submit IO multiple times.
+
+Any sub-buffer is actually one reference of ublk request buffer, which
+ownership can't be transferred to upper layer if any reference is held
+by ublk server.
+
+Why slice isn't good for ublk zero copy
+---------------------------------------
+
+- spliced page from ->splice_read() can't be written
+
+ublk READ request can't be handled because spliced page can't be written to, and
+extending splice for ublk zero copy isn't one good solution [#splice_extend]_
+
+- it is very hard to meet above requirements wrt. request buffer lifetime
+
+splice/pipe focuses on page reference lifetime, but ublk zero copy pays more
+attention to ublk request buffer lifetime. If is very inefficient to respect
+request buffer lifetime by using all pipe buffer's ->release() which requires
+all pipe buffers and pipe to be kept when ublk server handles IO. That means
+one single dedicated ``pipe_inode_info`` has to be allocated runtime for each
+provided buffer, and the pipe needs to be populated with pages in ublk request
+buffer.
+
+
+io_uring fused command based zero copy
+--------------------------------------
+
+io_uring fused command includes one primary command(uring command) and one
+generic secondary request. The primary command is responsible for submitting
+secondary request with provided buffer from ublk request, and primary command
+won't be completed until the secondary request is completed.
+
+Typical ublk IO handling includes network and FS IO, so it is usual enough
+for io_uring net & fs to support IO with provided buffer from primary command.
-Zero copy is a generic requirement for nbd, fuse or similar drivers. A
-problem [#xiaoguang]_ Xiaoguang mentioned is that pages mapped to userspace
-can't be remapped any more in kernel with existing mm interfaces. This can
-occurs when destining direct IO to ``/dev/ublkb*``. Also, he reported that
-big requests (IO size >= 256 KB) may benefit a lot from zero copy.
+Once primary command is submitted successfully, ublk driver guarantees that
+the ublk request buffer won't be gone away since secondary request actually
+grabs the buffer's reference. This way also guarantees that multiple
+concurrent fused commands associated with same request buffer works fine,
+as the provided buffer reference is shared & read-only.
+Also buffer usage direction flag is passed to primary command from userspace,
+so ublk driver can validate if it is legal to use buffer with requested
+direction.
