virtio-blk: use blk_io_plug/unplug for Linux AIO batching
The raw-posix block driver implements Linux AIO batching so multiple
requests can be submitted with a single io_submit(2) system call.
Batching is currently only used by virtio-scsi and
virtio-blk-data-plane.
Enable batching for regular virtio-blk so the number of io_submit(2)
system calls is reduced for workloads with queue depth > 1.
In 4KB random read performance tests with queue depth 32, the CPU
utilization on the host is reduced by 9.4%. The fio job is as follows:
[global]
bs=4k
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=32
direct=1
sync=0
time_based=1
runtime=30
clocksource=gettimeofday
ramp_time=5
[job1]
rw=randread
filename=/dev/vdb
size=4096M
write_bw_log=fio
write_iops_log=fio
write_lat_log=fio
log_avg_msec=1000
This benchmark was run on an raw image on LVM. The disk was an SSD
drive and -drive cache=none,aio=native was used.
