Subject: pgsql: aio: Add io_method=worker
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 16:01:44 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
aio: Add io_method=worker
The previous commit introduced the infrastructure to start io_workers. This
commit actually makes the workers execute IOs.
IO workers consume IOs from a shared memory submission queue, run traditional
synchronous system calls, and perform the shared completion handling
immediately. Client code submits most requests by pushing IOs into the
submission queue, and waits (if necessary) using condition variables. Some
IOs cannot be performed in another process due to lack of infrastructure for
reopening the file, and must processed synchronously by the client code when
submitted.
For now the default io_method is changed to "worker". We should re-evaluate
that around beta1, we might want to be careful and set the default to "sync"
for 18.
