mainlining shenanigans

In testing high frequency workloads with provided buffers, we spend a lot of time in allocating and freeing the buffer units themselves. Rather than repeatedly free and alloc them, add a recycling cache instead. There are two caches: - ctx->io_buffers_cache. This is the one we grab from in the submission path, and it's protected by ctx->uring_lock. For inline completions, we can recycle straight back to this cache and not need any extra locking. - ctx->io_buffers_comp. If we're not under uring_lock, then we use this list to recycle buffers. It's protected by the completion_lock. On adding a new buffer, check io_buffers_cache. If it's empty, check if we can splice entries from the io_buffers_comp_cache. This reduces about 5-10% of overhead from provided buffers, bringing it pretty close to the non-provided path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

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.
